The website βKeep Android Openβ is an initiative to protest and advocate against a new policy by Google which bans sideloading apps. The goal is to pressure Google to reverse or modify this policy to protect the open nature of the Android platform and the ability to sideload or use 3rd party app stores without excessive restrictions https://keepandroidopen.org
@nixCraftnixCraft π§ This is a good idea BUT
Alternatives exist like #lineageos #grapheneos and a bunch of others that will allow you to actually own your device and it's data, that will allow you to sideload apps until your heart is content, that will empower you to screw Google.
If you continue to not be able to sideload because of #Google, use that as motivation to explore these #opensource alternatives. #SetYourselfFree
