    • Help keep Android open!

    Android is an impressive operating system, being greatly secure, reliable, and redundant, while still having a rich and open ecosystem with insane amounts of user freedom, especially for an operating system developed primarily by one of the largest surveillance corporations in the world.

    That surveillance corporation is Google, and soon they will broaden their chokehold on Android's open ecosystem. Starting September 2026 through 2027 and onward, Google is planning to have Android app developers verify with them before their software is allowed to be installed on Play Protect-certified Android devices. This means most stock Android devices will be blocked from install Android apps found outside of the Google Play Store.

    With vendors like Verizon already disallowing the installation of custom ROMs on their devices, this action will create a big, fat wall in front of the flourishing free and open-source app ecosystems that can be found on alternative app stores like F-Droid.

    This is not a decision made for "safety". Installing Android apps from outside the Google Play Store is already difficult enough for the average layperson, and this will only make it near impossible to do so for that demographic. This is a greedy, monopolistic decision made to squeeze more data out of the thousands of app developers already on the Play Store, and to tighten the grip on the Android ecosystem that Google has already had enough of.

    Time is marching as we speak. Help us keep Android open.
    In 96 days, the requirement will become effective in Brazil, Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand.
    Then, in 218 days, the requirement will start becoming effective globally.

    Help by spreading the word, installing F-Droid on all of your Android devices, or by visiting Keep Android Open.

    Thank you for your time. Don't be evil.
