Could you provide some quotes?

Compared to murder as a business model, I would pick ‘no murder, please’.

How is murder Goodle’s businness model?

@MAU

Samsung is naughty, they collaborate with Israel, a genocidal state, but some aspects of corporate have divested: Samsung Next Withdraws From Israel | BDS Movemen

Yes, most other phne brands are not better then Google from a moral stanpoint and also produce worser products for use with Open Source Android Distributions.

@MAU

ASOP, what is that?

ASOP stands for Android Open Source Project and without it, we would have the proprietary iOS as the only mobile operating system (that is activeley developed)

Android (operating system)

@ArceusI

which is why I’m not updating my devices security, I’m trying my hardest to not update

You need to update for security reasons

@ArceusI

I could be indirectly telling Google that I’m not complying with their API changes, and am considering forcing a rollback if ArceusLand gains enough jurisdiction, and putting a hefty fine on Google for everything they’ve done

What is ArceusLand and how will it gain jurisdiction over Google?

[ArceusI]

For one: Screw security, if my rights & privacy are violated, I refuse to update, simple as that. I also hate Material 3 since it’s Google slop.

Second: ArceusLand has numerous laws that would tear Google apart from the serious fines it would have to pay, firstly the ArceusLand Online Safety & Privacy Act (ALOSPA) would prevent Google from installing Age Verification on their products & services. Plus ArceusLand would also stop the tracking & advertising that Google does as well, hurting just about 95% of their revenue, in one fell swoop!
