Any web based alternatives? App stores aren’t needed here and it’s a lot harder to stop a website.

So does this mean Google will also block services that are being used to harm other vulnerable groups, like all the ones being targeted by Snowfla- I mean ICE?

Any man with a mask is a threat to me and my immigrant wife. I do not give a fuck if the patch says "POLICE". Here, get one on Amazon, anyone can.

I am armed everywhere I travel past my front yard. I am armed on my shitter. Insane, I know, but that's where America is at. I am on a fucking hair trigger. Course ICE isn't around here, we rednecks are well armed. Funny how that works out.

Google can F-themselves.

Bet everyone keeps on using their google phones though...

Moaning online aint gonna do shit. Not buying their new phones, not using their old phones, will send the message you want to send. Get an old nokia, or a dumb phone, or two cans and piece of string, or no phone. If you think this is action by google is them cosying up to fascists, then you have a duty to harm that company by not giving them money.

They rely on convenience to trap you. Turn your phones off, dont buy the new ones, get dumb replacements if you need to. Fuck apple and fuck google for cosying up to this admins Gestapo bullshit.

Their phones don't make them that much money. Don't use the search service.

One of the founders of Fairphone is working on a European alternative phone OS called Mobifree, which is also open source. Google free Android also already exists.

Why does it have to be an app? Why can't it be just a webpage?
