How do you feel about the impending lockdown of Android?

@keepandroidopen Good, it puts pressure on the free/libre/open folks to build something better.

@keepandroidopen This is one of the key advantages of android compared to iOS

It's terrible because I can't change to a free OS. My phone would allow it, but I would loose banking and mobility apps.

@jutta_wa Are you REALLY sure about that? I never had any issues with these apps on my phone (Fairphones running IODE or /e/OS). How did you find out about your specific restrictions?

@keepandroidopen we need a real open alternative for mobile devices, like a single linux phone but that is really working ad can be purchable for a reasonable price.

Moreover we should push the European Union to don't leave the power on the corporations but putting solid rules about ownership: Google can do whatever they want to their OS, but I should be able to change the shipped OS and use "safe" apps that now runs only on Play Protect, like banking.

We hope all participants put the #keepandroidopen banner on every domain they can! So the world knows about what Google is up to.

@keepandroidopen@techhub.social We should look for alternatives to the dominant US platforms - that is the European perspective. #android
