Yeah, it’s hard. People don’t want to see the problems because they don’t want to change. Law makers are the ones we really can’t fail to convince.

It is partly designed to hurt Fdroid. Which will hurt Lineage, Graphene, e/OS, etc. It’s all very anticompetitive.

This is a legal/poltical issue more than a technology one. The good guys are the EFF, OpenRightsGroup, EDRi and others in the same side. Increasingly phone apps are forced on us to do things at all, and those apps are not only closed but only run on locked down OSs. It’s anti competitive, anti-freedom, authoritarian, etc etc.

We need to get better at convincing non-nerds. We need to stop fighting political fights by burying ourselves ever deeper in tech. Which I’m guilty of too!
