During out talks with F-Droid users at FOSDEM26 we were baffled to learn most were relieved that #Google has canceled their plans to lock-down Android.
Why baffled? Because no such thing actually happened, the plans announced last August are still scheduled to take place. We see a battle of PR campaigns and whomever has the last post out remains in the media memory as the truth, and having journalists just copy/paste Google posts serves no one.
But Google said… Said what? That there’s a magical “advanced flow”? Did you see it? Did anyone experience it? When is it scheduled to be released? Was it part of Android 16 QPR2 in December? Of 16 QPR3 Beta 2.1 last week? Of Android 17 Beta 1? No? That’s the issue… As time marches on people were left with the impression that everything was done, fixed, Google “wasn’t evil” after all, this time, yay!
While we all have bad memories of “banners” as the dreaded ad delivery medium of the Internet, after FOSDEM we decided that we have to raise the issue back and have everyone, who cares about Android as an open platform, informed that we are running out of time until Google becomes the gate-keeper of all users devices.
Hence, the website and starting today our clients, with the updates of F-Droid and F-Droid Basic, feature a banner that reminds everyone how little time we have and how to voice their concerns to whatever local authority is able to understand the dangers of this path Android is led to.
We are not alone in our fight, IzzyOnDroid added a banner too, more F-Droid clients will add the warning banner soon and other app downloaders, like Obtainium, already have an in-app warning dialogue.

Won't it be fun with "X Money" launches next month, and then they can cancel your account and steal your money after you criticize war crimes that Big Tech is complicit in?
Please be smarter and keep your finances off of Musk's would-be "everything app" as much as you possibly can.

Anonymous X users are reporting their full names are being Googled in Israel after they criticized its war crimes.
Many link it to X's use of Au10tix ID verification software - an Israeli company founded and staffed by "ex"-Israeli spies.

Von der Leyen: #EU age verification app ready The European Union's new age verification app is technically ready and will soon be available to users, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced in Brussels on Tuesday. The app will allow users to verify their age when using online platforms, similar to how age verification is used in stores when purchasing certain products, such as alcohol.
