    Nothing changes for now but other moves by Google clearly show they are trying to kill 3rd party ROMs by locking down Android’s code. In my opinion, unless EU steps in and mandates phone manufacturers and Google to support google free apps we’re fucked.

      The EU has no interest in allowing privacy on devices, since it is increasingly attempting to control alternative narratives. We’re in touching distance of the Fourth Reich now.

      EU wants phones to be locked down so they can then make Google implement mass surveillance for “national security” reasons

            Chat Control is not implementing mass surveillance and has nothing to do with national security. I that’s their only argument they are confused and there’s nothing to talk about. If they have other arguments I would like to hear them.

              You live under a rock my friend.

              Look at history. Look at the anology of how a frog will not jump out of boiling water if the temperature is slowly increased.

              They are slowly increasing the temperature, and chat control is a big step for them. If you cannot see that then there is no hope for you
