&quot;You, the consumer, purchased your Android device believing in Google’s promise that it was an open computing platform and that you could run whatever software you choose on it. Instead, as of September 2026, they will be non-consensually pushing an update to your operating system that irrevocably blocks this right and leaves you at the mercy of their judgement over what software you are permitted to trust.&quot; Keep Android Open https://keepandroidopen.org/ #KeepAndroidOpen #Fdroid #NotOkayGoogle
