Anyone even remotely privacy or security conscious needs to vote with their wallet in protest and stop buying Android phones, otherwise it's only a matter of time 'til Google bans side-loading and it becomes impossible to buy a phone that can run any kind of anonymous or end-to-end encrypted communication software.

Stop buying Android and what? Buy an iPhone that's even more locked down or live like an outcast that can't access essential services? Because those are the realistic options.

What if people stopped buying brand new Android phones and instead bought used ones and then installed alternative Android versions and app stores.

Can't access banks, ticket systems etc. unfortunately we are in the era of tightened screws, the freedom is running out :(

you can usually just use the web-interfaces for those services. less convenient, sure, but the options are there.
