You deliberately took the second quote out of context, in order to (attempt to) refute it. Here's the quote, with context:

> Starting September 2026, a silent update, nonconsensually pushed by Google, will block every Android app whose developer hasn't registered with Google, signed their contract, paid up, and handed over government ID. Every app and every device, worldwide, with no opt-out.

That is not false, it's completely accurate. You don't have to take my word for it, though, the Android developer docs have a helpful page detailing the plan [1].

As for the "advanced flow", the article discusses it in detail.

??? We literally quoted the exact same text.

The plan does not outline what that quote does. You only have to do all of the things the quote claims you do in one of the three possible deployment flows. In "advanced flow" you don't have to do any of them.

No, you quoted some of the text. Hence my statement that you removed the context. If you read the full quote, it's clearly stating that you cannot opt-out of the update.

		Please read it again. We quoted exactly the same thing, to the character. Also, you can certainly opt to not install android updates, if that's your preferred reading here -- so that is also false.
