Starting in 2027, Google will require every Android app developer to register centrally, provide government ID, and submit signing key evidence. Apps from unregistered developers will be blocked on all certified devices worldwide. This threatens F-Droid, open-source distribution, and user autonomy. @keepandroidopen #KeepAndroidOpen https://keepandroidopen.org

@brent_bartlett @keepandroidopen I'd hope that @EUCommission might consider an alternative operating system for European use, and perhaps those of us dragged out of EU screaming a few years back. Meanwhile consider action against Google for its abuse of market position, and suporting F-droid so Europe is not made subservient to the companies attacking international courts homed in Europe.
