Google's plan to block unverified apps is a 'rug pull' on the 3 billion people who chose Android for its openness. Don't let them turn your phone into a walled garden. @keepandroidopen.bsky.social #KeepAndroidOpen keepandroidopen.org

Google is requiring all Android developers to register centrally, pay a fee, and submit government ID. Apps from unregistered developers will be silently blocked. over 65 organizations oppose this. @keepandroidopen.bsky.social keepandroidopen.org

Starting September 2026, Google will block any Android app whose developer hasn't registered and provided government ID. This affects all apps, not just Play Store apps. F-Droid calls it an "existential threat." @keepandroidopen.bsky.social #KeepAndroidOpen keepandroidopen.org
