🚨 Say that I were to give a talk to EU policy makers and OSS communities at a very big conference tomorrow..

and that I want to spend half of my talk on how Google is locking down #Android through:
1. Device attestation
2. Developer registration
3. Age/identity verification

What should I absolutely include? 👀

Input is welcome, sorry for the short notice. Plain language + realistic calls to action pls.

@Gina maybe something about a freedom ladder? here's a slide u can prob put:

# alt mobile exp

there is a "freedom ladder" depending on ur risk tolerance, listed from most to least restrictive

- Apple/Android
- GrapheneOS & Fairphone: reuse Android internals but offer privacy/ethical distribution
- Volla/Jolla: alternative os's (tbh dont know too much about this)
- Ubuntu Touch: combines android internals with linux userspace
- pmOS/mobian/pocket blue/danctnix/etc: variable but growing support

@Gina there's others that i couldn't fit in b/c of the 500 char limit

eg. pine64, sailfishos, etc.

would highly reccomend skimming @linmob 's blogs/mastodon for a thorough list. he follows the linux mobile space closely
