@Wtebbens Couldn´t agree more, and one of the biggest changes we can do as individuals is to make sure the hardware (laptops and cellphones) we buy are #MadeInEurope and run operating systems free from silicon valley spyware. Time to #degoogleyourlife with a #Fairphone or a #shiftphone running #IodeOS or Murena.
With the military attacks on Venezuela as a last drop, and especially because of the radical US strategy to 1. Impose digital colonialism 2. Its tariffs and 3. Force the buying of US weapons, we have to make radical choices. US gov is not our friend (any more).
Either we continue as a colony or we rebuild our economy locally, in the EU, strengthening EU collaboration instead of weakening.
Time then for boycott and transitioning away from US dependency. Start with Digital Independence #diday

So I went to F-Droid and attempted to download the public transport plugin for Kvaesitso.
And I got a Google Play Protect popup message warning "harmful app detected".
It gave no further details about why this app is harmful.
Does anyone know if this app is harmful? If so how?
Or is this Google being a monopolist and blocking competing open source apps?

🔍 Time to change your #SearchEngine
⚠️ Despite the big variety of open-source safe alternatives, #Google remains the most used search engine in the world, with 90% of online searches. HOW? Google pays independent browsers, like Firefox and Safari, to be Google-by-default. It is a monopolistic practice for which they were sued.
