Unfun fact: Google will soon force all developers to identify themselves to Google before running their app; this applies to f-droid.

I think modded android will be able to get around it, at least for now.

Hopefully the more Google tightens its grasp, the more users will slip between their fingers.

    The future is inevitably FOSS. Governments & corporations like to keep their secrets too much to let US-centric companies keep backdoors into their every system.

    Yes but part of the selling point a lot of the time does perversely come back to US-centric companies providing the leaders of Governments and Corporations a Backdoor-As-A-Service product to force upon those lower down in the pecking order.

    The only possible way Google can block installing apps from F-Droid (and other app stores) is to have software on the phone that scans apps as they are being installed.

    I doubt if modded OSs will ever have that software. If the devs of custom roms are too lazy to remove the junk they will not have many users.
