Google will require developer verification to install Android apps, including sideloading

I already fled to Element X.

Update: https://spacebar.chat/

I have also moved to SpaceBar too, we desperately need an app for SpaceBar!

Well, Age Verification is only accelerating it, but, if Age Verification is stopped, then more can be done to crumble the Data Brokering business.

And and what is the problem with it?
This money goes to fund the development of the Android Open Source Project and the further production of the only device that has a strong secure element AND an unlock-able bootloader.

Why would it be better to give that money to for example Samsung who do a lot less for Free Software then Google does?

Actually…Google also uses it to fund ways to shut down our freedoms too.

Not true, Google’s motto is “Don’t be evil” and they are not. They are a noble company that only has the users’ best interests always at heart.
