Chromium as a whole could one day move out of Google entirely and into an independent foundation, and while that's not happening now, it's another step toward larger organization outside of the web's dominant browser and advertising provider.

Hello Mastodon, anyone knows where I could can find copies of the following Google agreements?

- Mobile application distribution agreements
- Android Compatibility Commitments (ACC)
- Revenue sharing agreements

Pavel Durov, Telegram @telegram Founder has been arrested in France. He is apparently being charged for not being able to take enough actions against criminal uses of Telegram.

The surprising part is why he took the risk to land in France while he knew he was under arrest warrant.

Without judging about the charges, this day is probably not good for freedom.
