#vendorlockin — Public Fediverse posts

Tomorrow begins the first rollout phase of Google's Android Developer Verification, meaning developers will be required to:
- Create a Google account
- Pay a $25,- fee
- Agree to Google's Terms and Conditions
- Provide government-issued identification
- Share evidence of their private signing key
- List all current and all future application identifiers

Without this, users will have to switch to a different APK-based operating system, or jump through a tedious set of hoops in order to use their apps. A petition on Change.org is only 5% away from reaching its goal. Will you add a straw to the camel's back? https://c.org/vFHWr5ZXq8 @keepandroidopen https://keepandroidopen.org/
