Rad. That's the way to do it.

"Avoid Google. Don't buy Google products, especially their phones."

Money is the corporate language, especially for Big Tech, which is always several steps ahead of legislation.

Will corporate care? Google alternatives are either iOS (which has had the same restriction for a decade now so you're not gaining anything by switching) or a super niche OS that isn't going to be profitable in the mass market.

Ironically their phones are the best way to avoid this shit, because they are one of the few that properly support securely installing de-googled Android Versions.

Agreed, ironic. I recently switched my Pixel to Graphene

		I was already de-googled before I switched to Pixels, but used LineageOS on chinese devices with a hellish bootloader-unlock experience and wanted better security. I hope the OEM GrapheneOS is in contact with makes a better alternative.
