MODERATORS
This is highly misleading. Hopefully there's a link in the article to the original report on the GrapheneOS forums, where they talk about the app update breaking it on multiple platforms, not just GrapheneOS. It does not appear to be a block.
It's probably just using googles play integrity, that tends to break apps in pretty much in everything that isn't stock manufacturer android.
It is
All in all, it's just another brick in the VibeCoded Wall...
when it is only affecting unofficial android systems, and stock roms are unaffected, then it indeed is a block.
