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.

About age/identity verification through the new EU ID wallets, I'll mention something about the necessity of offering this through open apps / app stores. Google is all too eager to become a middleman for these services:

@Gina honestly, for what concerns _required_ government interaction - like identity paperwork, taxes, or health, these functions should absolutely be priority for NOT working through Chrome or Google -

For example, I often have to use Chrome browser instead of Firefox or Librewolf, bc the government sites simply don't function unless it's Chrome.

Next priority = banks. I should not be required to have a phone at all to do banking, but if I do, I should be able to use GrapheneOS or other.
