Already happened with the ICC, in our country we are trying to avoid the US financial system. The central bank is developing a QR payment system. Currently, we have agreements to use this system with several countries in Asia.

And no matter how good the QR payment system is, it still relies heavily on the Goolag ecosystem. Most QR payment applications will not work with microG.

Would love that, but it’s a hard task, since telemetry is baked into Android OS, not to mention in almost all apps in the Play Store.

the biggest problem hasn’t yet emerged, let’s say Orange turd will use his power to force Goolag to restrict access to the Goolag account for any country or entity for any of his moronic reason.

You can use Briar, BitChat, or Bridgefy to communicate, without having internet connections. I’ve only tried Briar, which works with cell networks, wifi, also bluetooth.

I remember some time ago this topic was discussed in a Telegram group about privacy. Some users began accusing OP of being anti-Semitic.

Librewolf, only has an offline machine translation

other alternative, Mullvad browser but I haven’t tried.

it’s much easier to watch and control people with digital ID. Like your payroll, bank transfers, groceries, taxes etc.

Usual moves from them, you may have trouble installing Linux on an Android PC Because they do not provide drivers for Linux or bootloader is locked.

or you may omly install Linux apps from goolag play store, you can’t sideload them

yeah probably in the future, you may only install Linux apps from goolag play store.

non-EU citizens here

The biggest problem with ChatControl is that you are required to weaken the encryption of your chat application, or possibly give authorities access to scan all messages.

Actually, I would prefer it if they offered their subscription service through data plans or balance, just like WhatsApp did before Meta bought it.

I would, but it’s not possible since I don’t have millions of dollars in my savings account.

No, it depends on where you live. In my country, goolag asks for your phone number. You can’t use your other email address to create a goolag account.

Another excuses from goolag to create their walled garden on Android OS. That means it will be more difficult to install .apk from f-droid or from other sources.

We desperately need a real open source mobile OS.

I don’t see any issues with Aurora Store, as others have said, try with VPN. Or check their telegram group if there are any issues.

I remember back then, some people defended not blocking Threads instances.

While I’m very happy to see it, what about Whatsapp users in the EU? Suckerberg knows that this is Meta’s strong position, and that’s why he insisted on not signing.
