Your phone is about to stop being yours. In September 2026, Google will block every Android app whose developer hasn't registered with them.

Is this still going to happen? What can we do?

While I’m not going to say its over, it sure looks like Google is about to make it a whole lot harder for people to escape their influence.

And the worst part of this is it would seem even the most “privacy conscious” governments are on Google’s side.

Because locking everything down and removing our privacy is good for the children… Just never mind the rich pedophile cabal that almost nothing was done about other than slapping the wrists a few very high profile scapegoats.

So, in this case a Linux phone would be best?

Anyway, I’ll get a phone with a different OS than Google Android. But I’m not sure about Linux yet. I like my Android FOSS apps.

That is the thing iOS is better default but its FOSS apps are low, and I understand why 100 bucks a year thing. I whish iOS would allow 3rd party stores like really allow them not the bullshit they are doing in the EU,
