As of 2007, SA has been disabled in GPS when they updated their transmitters

I know. I'm just stating that it is theoretically possible that SA of some sort is included in Galilleo. The USG can turn SA back on whenever they like.

I don't even know the issue, I just jumped in here coz I was bored, but if peeps seriously think military/governments don't have a few backdoors or some kind of pleb switch / regional limiter built into stuff like GPS then u mad bro.

I mean, they can, but they literally have a .gov webpage dedicated to Bill Clinton's 2000 act of ending SA and how it will not be changed. So they could, but they'd be renaging on a promise made to the civilian and commercial public. Which in the current climate is entirely possible.

So yes, a receiver could be altered based on a predetermined hard coding, but I think something like that - Geo based hard coding - would be available knowledge, maybe not widely or publicly, but available knowledge.
