Keep Android Open3d ago
How do you feel about the impending lockdown of Android?
Good, it is necessary for our safety and security
OK, I trust Google to prioritize user interests
Bad, it is an attempt to take complete control
Terrible, this is the end of software freedom

It is bad but it is not the end unless we decide to not fight.

@terminaltilt @keepandroidopen I highly doubt google is doing this absent pressure.
Giving the right person inside Google the right reasons and numbers to write the right letter to the right person is what could turn it around.
Is that what you mean by "fight"?

That is part of it, but fighting is also about creating social pushback. When we’re loud, bring attention to these changes, and refuse to accept them as the new normal, we change the math for them. Google needs to know that locking down Android is a PR disaster that drives their loyal users and developers away.
