As a Android user, I'm fully conscious that Google will play the same sort of games and deplatform clients from their store. It's just a matter of time. Same can go with Microsoft to a degree as they have already uninstalled apps without your permission going as far back as 2015.

You're only really safe if your on a open-source OS like Linux or BSD.

People need to start going out of their way in supporting small businesses whether brick and mortar or otherwise and not handing over money to big corporations that clearly hate people like us and what we stand for. Why fund them?

If your in the market for a new phone buy a Pinephone + Waydroid for Android emulation or install Ubuntu Touch.
