Google's disastrous imminent plan - to block Android apps from devs who don't hand over ID to Google - will not affect me directly, because I use GrapheneOS.

Nevertheless, this is pushing me away from Android. I don't want to be part of what Google is pushing.

My plan is to move to postmarketOS, a Free software, non-Android, mobile OS.

I have already started, but it will still take me some time.

(I have tried others, including Sailfish, without much luck.)

People should be able to write software for Android, and distribute it outside Google's Play store, without having to:

* pay Google
* give government ID to Google
* agree to Google terms and conditions

People should be able to install the software they want on their phone, from sources other than Google's Play store, without having to jump through Google-imposed hoops.

e.g. via F-Droid.

We've got until September this year to stop Google squeezing the open Android ecosystem.
