Google says YOU must wait 24 hours if you download an app onto your OWN DEVICE if it's from an "Unverified developer". What ever happened to user choice and Android freedom?! 😡

Google has started rolling out its new ""Advanced Flow", which requires you to wait a 24-hour waiting period if you want to install apps from unverified developers.

Google plans to restrict side-loading, declaring war on Android freedom | Tuta

Starting 2027, Google will block apps on Android devices whose developers have not registered with Google, paid, and given their ID. It’s fair to say that Google is becoming Apple: Your device, their rules.

@Tutanota They are moving so fast, to maky your think you’ll get tired of protesting.

They’re locking everything down, making everything surveillance, in hope you won’t have time to build options.

Fascism is a cult of speed.
