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.

I'm curious what you think the alternative is, because Apple is definitely a lot worse, and we all know they're very much a duopoly.

BTW, all the GrapheneOS, etc. are still Android phones.

I had a Jolla phone on my hands the other day and I must admit this…

SailfishOS is pretty nice

I might get one next

Buy Xperia 10 III while you still can. It's the best SailfishOS phone at the moment.

I have an Xperia 10 III, but it's running AOSP I built myself.

Basically none of this new restriction will bother me, since I don't run anything but stock AOSP and get all my apps from f-droid repos.

Eventually you will need a new phone and by then probably all phones will be locked down.
