Screenshot from Keep Android Open website: Your phone is about to stop being yours. 92 DAYS UNTIL LOCKDOWN Starting in 2027*, a silent update, nonconsensually pushed by Google, will block every Android app whose developer hasn't registered with Google, signed their contract, paid up, and handed over government ID. Every app and every device, worldwide, with no opt- out.

🚨 GOOGLE IS KILLING ANDROID FREEDOM. 🚨
This #DiDay we call on you to take action & sign the petition:
https://www.change.org/p/keep-android-open-stop-google-from-limiting-apk-file-usage
Because Google must not decide what you can & can't download on YOUR Android device.
This undermines one of Android’s defining features: the freedom to install software from wherever you choose. 😤
#Android is supposed to be open, & your phone should be yours → NOT GOOGLES.
It’s time to support open alternatives like @GrapheneOS ✊
