The Issue

Google, a close to Pan-National Company has a Market capitalization of approximately 2.5 Trillion dollars (≈2,2 trillion Euros if you are European). Google has been messing with many users that have Ad blockers and Custom Apps recently, and now they may be destroying them for good by 2026 Worldwide. Unless we act now, I fear that we will not have any freedom of choice on what we download, let alone install.

We choose Android because we wanted a choice. This was the last widespread Mainstream Mobile Operating System on the Planet where the user comes first; and I cannot let this stand that Google takes our individual freedoms away. The user comes first before corporate greed. 

In the EU (European Union) there is a law called the Digital Markets Act, which according to some 27 countries (Most of which are Powerful, Industrial/ First World Countries) ensures that "They (Apple, Amazon, ByteDance, Meta, Microsoft and Alphabet inc. (also known as the Parent company of Google LLC))   will simply not be allowed to use unfair practices towards the business users and customers that depend on them, in order to gain an undue advantage." This Law means that we have the right to do what we want with our devices and technology, that we rightfully bought. The USA also has similar laws in place.

I myself am a prime example of why this law was enforced. I am a Type 1 diabetic who cannot root his device, or my insulin pump literally stops working.  So for my sake, please help me stand up to Alphabet Inc. (aka Google) and enforce EU Law by any means necessary.
