🚨 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.
@fdroidorg @GrapheneOS @postmarketOS @Fairphone @appfair @fsfe @murena @volla @IzzyOnDroid
Boosting and tagging is appreciated, DM's are welcome too.
I really want to get this right, so please only use verified information. And yes, I'll be mentioning https://keepandroidopen.org/ extensively.
(And yes I will also mention Apple and the role of the DMA, but only briefly. More info: https://mastodon.social/@kirschner/116440678455335985)
I'll start with the #opensource strategy and EU tech sovereignty package, and good things happening and alternatives being build etc.
Then mention how the mobile ecosystem is one of the last frontiers left critically assessed.
I'll share how Google is closing down Android (input welcome!). 
And that we need to promote, fund, regulate and perhaps even build open (EU) alternatives in the mobile ecosystem if we don't want to increasingly become captured by 2 US big tech companies.
@failedLyndonLaRouchite @Gina @janl I would still refuse such a poisoned gift.
There is a reason I don't have a smartphone.
Very short version: I know what they do with your data. The price of convenience is privacy and I'm just not willing to pay that price.
absolutely, that is your priviledge
but if, hypothetically, it costs society as whole a lot of money to maintain a seperate non smartphone system, then at some point society may say, we don't wish to pay for this
I honestly don't know what the answer(s) here are maybe that is more obvious to those of you with tech skills
