The website “Keep Android Open” is an initiative to protest and advocate against a new policy by Google which bans sideloading apps. The goal is to pressure Google to reverse or modify this policy to protect the open nature of the Android platform and the ability to sideload or use 3rd party app stores without excessive restrictions https://keepandroidopen.org
Keep Android Open

Advocating for Android as a free, open platform for everyone to build apps on.

Keep Android Open

@nixCraft This is a good idea BUT

Alternatives exist like #lineageos #grapheneos and a bunch of others that will allow you to actually own your device and it's data, that will allow you to sideload apps until your heart is content, that will empower you to screw Google.

If you continue to not be able to sideload because of #Google, use that as motivation to explore these #opensource alternatives. #SetYourselfFree

@Rastal @nixCraft
are they not built on the android kernel though? And if google start locking down Android every which way they can, does that not leed to making development harder for the alternatives?
