Danish payment app MobilePay criticised for Google dependence

MobilePay, Denmark's widely used mobile payment service, is being criticised for depending on Google services to run on Android. Critics point out that the app does not work with microG, an open-source replacement for Google Play Services, meaning people who avoid Google's software cannot use an app many consider part of Denmark's critical payment infrastructure. The argument: essential payment systems should be usable without Google surveillance.

Why now: Concerns over digital sovereignty and privacy are driving debate in Denmark about critical infrastructure relying on Google's Android ecosystem.
