Google have announced that, starting September 2026, they will silently update every Android device to block apps from 3rd-party sources.
|
||||
|
||||
They will become like Apple. If you want to create an app for Android phones, you will pay Google for the privilege. Never mind that they're taking it away.
|
||||
|
||||
Make no mistake: destroying third party app stores (like F-Droid) and locking down devices **we own** is not about "security" -- it's about control.
|
||||
|
||||
We paid for these devices _because_ Android is less restrictive than iOS, not in spite of it. This non-consentual change is a betrayal and a fundamental broken promise of the Android ecosystem.
|
||||
|
||||
I've been a loyal Android user and supporter since its early days. This support was never based on "I like Android's UI better." It was the open platform. As a broke middle-school student, I could actually build things for Android.
|
||||
|
||||
Destroying that is a race to the bottom that benefits no one in the long-term, not even Google.
|
||||
|
||||
I fully agree with this [open letter](https://keepandroidopen.org/open-letter/) signed onto by many of the biggest names in the open-source community.
