Just in case anyone missed it:

In September 2026 #Google will lock down #android to prevent you from installing apps from alternative stores like #fdroid or even #sideload them.

They did *not* back down.

They say it's for #security but it not.

It's to control your #phone, your #apps, your #freedom.. and by extension.. *you*.

Help prevent this insanity.
