Comment on Is Foss really safe?
exscape@kbin.social 1 year agoMost phones use customized versions of Android and decide you shouldn't have root access. It opens up security issues and makes it easier to bypass ads and DRM which they don't like.
You can get it on some phones, including Google's.

But why is Android even called opensource when there are restrictions by Google? Isn't it a dangerous path when Google can decide to ban F-droid on the platform? What could stop them from doing that? How is the future of Android even guaranteed under such a greedy company like Google?
