In 166 days #Android will become a locked-down platform because Google wants to kill Android freedom.

At Tuta, we say NO. Google must keep Android open & free!

@Tutanota Google doesn't have to keep Android Open, there's nothing stopping them from taking a massive dump on AOSP.

I hope Google locks down Android so people will be funnelled into actually open mobile OSes

@budududuroiu @Tutanota Yeah, if only there actually were some open ones that you could use for everyday things like paying bills, confirming purchases and general banking errands... I don't think you realise the chokehold Apple and Google has on all of this around the world.

@seq @Tutanota yeah I agree, but Android currently offers just enough "openness" to not justify investing time in truly free/open alternatives

@budududuroiu, the thing is, other OS are not yet safe for all phones either. e/OS/ for example is not compatible with most new phones, and even phones from 2020 are not officially compatible (there's a version which has not been said 100% safe by the developers)
