Google will require developer verification to install Android apps, including sideloading

MAU:

If users do not know or care, than they deserve the Google ecosystem

@Licaon_Kter Encouraging alternative mobile ecosystems and buying from other than complicit ‘Empire’ manufacturers would not help Google. Though there is something called the imperial boomerang coined by Aimé Césaire in her discourse on colonialism. It is totally okay for companies to oppress/murder people in other countries as part of their business model. But what goes around, comes around. You give a shit because it is wrong, and if you are a sociopath, then at least think that this will come bite you in the ass.

But really, if there is a (good) choice beyond Google / iOS , we would not give two passes of gas what Google does with lockdowns. But if something released is ‘Lord Vader’ (Motorola) approved, then it’s just as toxic as anything else.
