"You, the consumer, purchased your Android device believing in Google’s promise that it was an open computing platform and that you could run whatever software you choose on it. Instead, as of September 2026, they will be non-consensually pushing an update to your operating system that irrevocably blocks this right and leaves you at the mercy of their judgement over what software you are permitted to trust."

@RosethornRanger AFAIK it's unclear. I use LineageOS and don't know how it is going to be affected either. Looks like Google will have to change their stance or the entire Android project needs to be forked to avoid this?
