> The much more interesting recent news IMO is that Google is not allowing (non-Samsung) OEMs to sell devices with GrapheneOS:

how is that legal??

that sounds like a very clean cut case of thinks companies aren't allowed to do under fair market lawes

Yeah, I don't understand this, graphene is FOSS and unaffiliated with google so if you as an oem install grapheneos on hardware you manufactured how does Google have any say at all?

Because Google will cut you off from access to the privileged Android access to Play Store, Services and everything else. So it’s basically all or nothing.

		Which, again, appears at a glance to be clearly illegal. For reference see what happened to Microsoft in both the US and Europe.

It's only illegal if the law is enforced and the US federal government gave up on anti-trust enforcement a long time ago and any attempts to re-awaken it get nerfed quick.
