⚠️ The FSFE has submitted its position to the @EUCommission's Android interoperability consultation under the #DMA
The FSFE is calling for the following, among other things:
🔹 the right to fully uninstall AI-based features from Android devices,
🔸 and access to interoperability functions for developers free from #Google verification requirements
I wouldn't be surprised if the EU commission, doesn't even understand the problem here.
@fsfe @EUCommission Good luck hope you make them move on both those point.
If one day you have time, also propose them.
"access to interoperability function for secure attestation on non Google play user" so privacy friendly os that support them are not blocked out of app like bank or governement's
@fsfe @EUCommission This is the kind of open‑source advocacy that actually matters.
Not “AI will save us”.
Not “Android is open enough”.
Not “developers just need to trust Google”.
But
- the right to fully remove AI features,
- the right to interoperate without corporate gatekeeping,
- and the right to build software without begging for permission.
This is what “open” looks like when it’s not wearing a marketing costume.
