This is already outdated
Why? Has someone else written it up in a more informative way elsewhere?
Perhaps the GP missed in details the first paragraph of the article in which it mentions that while google indeed is backing away from its more general “environment integrity API” for the web, it is perhaps still pursuing a version of this for android devices.
~~Google already said they are not implementing this any more, there was an article about this here last week.~~
Ignore this, I got confused
It hit the news a week ago, yes. But you are apparently confusing it with something else, as are a lot of people. I'm not sure why. Some kind of disinformation campaign going on in addition to the big media fanfare announcing the thing? What they seem to have learned from their previous experience is to announce it loudly through carefully-crafted press releases designed to prepare the ground of public opinion by sowing confusion, not try to sneak it in without people noticing.
Anyway, it's called "Webview Media Integrity" if you want to try and find a source claiming that it's been discontinued.
Awww shit, you are right. Got confused with the web manifest certification api thing.
