They’re afraid of more ICE trackers
Remember, it’s important that technology and advancement only be used by capital, never by the underclass.
Whatever the hell I do outside the playstore is none of Googles business and though this too is handwaved away by claiming improved security, we all know this has fuck all to do with security.
This is just again Google being a monopoly and wanting to stay that way by pushing out other developers
I guarantee you that newpipe devs will not be able to get verified, and now Google can block yet another app
Fuck. google. (Also apple and gicrosoft
If you want improved security, use GrapheneOS.
You know that not everyone can shell out 400 Euros on a phone, right?
I’m sure the newpipe devs are going to coincidentally not be allowed to be verified… Oops no YouTube viewer… Ughhh…
Fixed that…remove YouTube!
and how do you explain that to your family? you got off youtube, but they won’t be happy.
Without play service this won’t get enforced right? Or will graphine os be affected? Its an monopoly power play anyways.
Now, any device without Google Play Services will be totally unaffected. Any device with Google Play Services will be fucked.
I regret buying a Pixel.
GrapheneOS
Good thing I use custom ROMs.
This isn’t about you.
Also this kind of liberal argument of, ‘The gestapo cannot catch me because I bought skates!’ is stupid and tiring.
