My Android phone just performed a forced, unauthorized OS update, removing root access in the process.

Despite automatic updates being explicitly disabled.

The tech industry's understanding of "consent" is contemptuous.

"No" means "no", not "maybe later", or "unless you think you know better".

Why don't you install an #opensource #Android?

Pay attention to it the next time you buy. ( #fairphone etc.)

@maexchen1 @ryanc Because for many that's simply not an option due to mandatory digital national ID relying on google or apple services for verification.

@Beiz @maexchen1 @ryanc

i hope you don't mind me asking but how does this work? anything i could lookup? thanks.

@qaris @maexchen1 @ryanc the ID we use is called BankID.
