🌐🔒 Exciting news for privacy! The US government has officially recommended using Signal and other encrypted messaging apps after recent telecom hacks. This is a huge step forward in recognizing the importance of secure communication!

As someone who has always championed free and open-source software, I’m thrilled to see this acknowledgment from the government, especially given the increasing threats to our privacy. With the rise of surveillance and the potential for breaches in our communication networks, it’s more important than ever to prioritize encrypted messaging.

If even the CIA is warning us about the dangers of unencrypted communications, we should take it seriously! Let’s embrace tools that protect our privacy and autonomy. Remember, our digital safety is in our hands!

Have you made the switch to Signal or another secure messaging app, or know someone making it now?

📣 Attention all custom ROM users and advocates for digital rights! 📣

Google's Play Integrity is limiting access to certain functionalities and applications for those using custom operating systems. This is a direct attack on the open-source community and a step towards further consolidating Google's monopoly in the mobile ecosystem.

The European Commission is aware of the situation, but has deemed it a low priority: europarl.europa.eu/doceo/docum

It's time for us to take action and show Google and the EU how much we care about this issue! 💥

Sign the petition now to stop Google from limiting access to custom ROMs: change.org/p/stop-google-from-

Let's unite and fight for our right to use and develop custom operating systems! 💪

📣 Attention all custom ROM users and advocates for digital rights! 📣

Google's Play Integrity is limiting access to certain functionalities and applications for those using custom operating systems. This is a direct attack on the open-source community and a step towards further consolidating Google's monopoly in the mobile ecosystem.

Stop Google from Limiting Custom ROMs!

The Issue:
Google systematically blocks access to apps and functionalities for users running custom Android operating systems, affecting millions of tech-savvy users who modify their devices.

Why Users Choose Custom ROMs:
• Overcome programmed obsolescence when manufacturers stop updating
• Fix bugs in stock operating systems
• Personalize and customize their device's software
• Improve performance and privacy

Google's False Justification:
Google claims Play Integrity ensures "app security" by verifying unmodified app binaries on "genuine" Android devices. In reality, this is a tactic to:
• Maintain its mobile operating system monopoly
• Restrict user choice
• Convince developers to stay dependent on Play Store

Our Demand:
We call on European Union to consider investigating the monopolistic tactics, and ask Google to allow custom ROM users to:
• Access all applications
• Use device capabilities fully
• Exercise their right to modify owned technology

This is about digital freedom, user rights, and challenging corporate control over personal technology.

@debby @RavenLuni I'd happily sign, but change.org does not work on firefox, and I'm not going to install chrome. I'm sure you can understand that?

@debby I would sign more change.org petitions but they send me 70,000 emails every time I breathe in their vicinity

lumi :blobcatnom: :blobcatflower:

@debby google play integrity is snakeoil security that only restricts user freedom

it (and any similar kind of attestation) shouldn't exist
