🚨 Urgent: The Future of Android and Digital Freedom

I want to share something critically important regarding the future of this app and the entire Android ecosystem. Please visit: https://keepandroidopen.org/

The Situation

Google has recently stated that starting September 2026, all developers will be required to pay a fee and submit government ID. Failure to comply will result in apps being blocked.

Why This Matters

I believe this marks the collapse of democracy in the software and digital space. It creates a dangerous precedent where a single entity holds absolute power over what you can or cannot run on your device. It is, quite literally, the birth of a digital dictatorship.

As a young developer, I am deeply concerned about this systemic shift. While iPhones are popular in Japan, Android is the dominant platform globally. This policy doesn't just affect me—it threatens the survival of countless independent developers and the freedom of every user.

How You Can Help

I sincerely ask for your support in spreading the word.

  1. Share this issue on X (Twitter), Mastodon, and other social media.
  2. Tell your friends about what’s happening to the Android ecosystem.
  3. Stand with developers to keep our digital space open and free.

Your voice is vital to ensuring that apps like this one—and many others—can continue to exist. Thank you for your support.
