@abies77 Ce qui aura aussi un impact sur les utilisateurs d'autres #android, comme celui d'e/OS, parce que les détenteurs de smartphone dégoogleisés sont peu nombreux. La plupart des usagers de #Fdroid et autres dépôts alternatifs tournent sous du #GoogleAndroid. Ça signifie que les développeurs d'app #FLOSS devront soit se plier aux règles de #Google, soit laisser tomber leurs projets, parce qu'il n'y aura plus assez d'utilisateurs. @murena @e_mydata @fdroidorg
