🚨Google wants to kill Android freedom

We've signed an Open Letter to urge #Google to keep #Android #free & #open!

Otherwise Google’s Android is becoming Apple: Your device, their rules.

I would really like a google-free, non apple mobile smart phone

too much to ask?

in reply to Tuta

Say Google gets their way and locks down the Android platform: would you provide alternative apps for non-android OS's like Sailfish? I have one of the new @jolla devices on order, and would love to keep Tuta.

@DodoTheDev @jolla
as a precursor, providing mobile browser support is a start. basically inside of a browser. and it is also platform and browser independent.

dedicated apps later.

@jolla
I knew there was a reason I went with Tuta! So glad to hear that. I'll happily be a tester.
in reply to Tuta

nobody making alternative OS, only signing open letters. Nothing Gonna change
in reply to Tuta

for short term, i support this agenda. delaying alphabet inc's takeover of android is beneficial.

for longer term, android is pretty much alphabet inc's playground where users are just pawns for corporate greed and power. we need to move to other platforms. apple's devices are already closed.

alternatives:
laptop with linux distribution.
linux mobile, not android based.
technical basic phone.
ungoogled android, temporarily.

In 2026, Android is privacy-focused only when unlocked or customized, whereas iOS provides easier privacy controls by default (But we have to trust Apple).
in reply to Tuta

We need smartphones with another OS , not just iOS or Android

I need y'all to know that whoever makes these memes always brightens my day. Vielen Dank!

good on you Tuta! you do fine work.

I am moving off android and apple to a real OS for my next telephone because I dont really have a use for garbage.

personally I would pay 10 to 20 times more for a non-Google, non-Apple mobile device than I would for one of those kinds of buggy, unuseable, entry-level products. they're just not very good and to be honest they are kind of embarrassing to be seen with.

technology has moved on without them. and so will consumers.

I think the left person actually represents normal conservative users.
They blame us for being paranoid, while we never compromise our privacy and security.
