Seems there are other forks of Android though. So the title is a bit misleading. Graphene gonna be doing some heavy lifting soon.

They couldn't even fucking be bothered to spell check their slop banner?

1. Embrace open source
2. Extend services into proprietary layers (Google Play Services)
3. Extinguish third party development

We're entering the final phase of Microsoft's famous EEE strategy from the 90s.

That's why Android needs to be forked and have an independente development asap.

EU is ditching big US corporations, however Google is restricting third party app stores, and control over which apps can be installed.

Google Services are built-in on almost Android devices, giving access to everything that happens on those devices (phones, tablets, Android TV...), which is basically an rootkit, it can remotely access any app, any file, and control the device.

EU and any other nation needs an alternative to Android or iOS, truly open source without external control of any corporation

PS: I know there are open source alternatives like PostmarkedOS, but lacks of apps, and still requires Android to run Android apps

Can someone tell me why legislation hasn't stepped in yet? I honestly don't understand this. The EU made Microsoft show a pop up on Windows so users could choose their own browser. And this was idk how many years ago. Yet it seems to be perfectly ok for OEM's to make phones where it's impossible to install another OS on...

you never had any freedom to begin with

No thanks.

I'll keep my phone and my freedom by removing Google from it.
