So Google is Locking Down Android Phones

[Solid State]

Google will soon make it to where you cannot sideload apps anymore on android phones outside of the Google Play store. They want to make Android phones follow the walled garden model like iPhones.



This year has been one giant assault on privacy by governments and techbros across the world, hasn't it?

I already use Graphene OS. The problem is that this might severely discourage the development of third party apps or repositories like F-Droid or emulators now that Google wants to vet every single app that they allow people to install on their devices.

There will ALWAYS be workarounds. It's just that normies (the masses) won't bother to use those because they're either too lazy or too stupid.
