This is exactly why I use Android over iOS, for software freedom. If Google forces ADV and locks out F-Droid, they remove the single biggest differentiator between the two platforms. Making Play Protect into a forced gatekeeper instead of an opt-in security scanner is a massive bait-and-switch for users who care about digital sovereignty.
Feeling proud on these Open Models. Its just they need to focus on efficiency as well especially in terms of size.
Turns out "technical debt" also applies to national archives.
