I hope this picks up. Apps dependent on google services for no reason are such a pain.

    It seems to be the same manner of a closed ecosystem, just EU branded

    Opensource. I don't understand everything it does but that has to count for something.

    What would be a better solution?

    banning the thing. It's not bad because it's google, it's bad because it takes away our freedom of choosing whichever devices and operating systems we want

    i don't understand the reference. We don't want the fence built. The fence is not already there and we all have no idea of the reason it was put up. On the contrary, we don't want it up because we know the reason. This will not help security. This will help no one
