TLDR is marked in bold.
after months of protests to hope that Google will reverse this kind of decision, not only no sign that they would change anything, and what they have done recently regarding Chrome's mandatory Manifest V3, i have a substantially good faith that Google is going to ignore this open letter completely, and thereby suggesting something far more radical that pours Google devastating consequences for not hearing the users' voice.
we live under capitalism, and we must work together and fight back in a capitalist's way: hit them in their wallet, conquer their shares, and bring up new alternatives; because calling regulators does not necessarily work especially if they are already compromised to begin with, and the "well actually..." narrative is also pretty much AI generated content specifically to control that.
in my direction, we get to minimise the Android use (if anyone still uses it). while there is no proper smartphone that natively uses Linux or the so-called Graphene OS, we still get to use Android for now - ditch the features you no longer need, one at a time; only keeping what you really need. do not force anyone else (or probably yourself) to do it all at once, it doesn't help the movement.
and then we need people who have money to buy and DRS those companies' stocks. when companies have those "investor relations" and they listen to them more than the users' money, all users have to do is to switch their instalment for those companies into buying their stocks and directly registering them (buying them alone doesn't necessarily work if you have ever watched the Wall Street Conspiracy where someone bought all of the shares but the stock price still went down, and then the recent GameStop's incident that still happens today).
in long term, we need new alternatives, as well as giving hand to the developers to compete against the big ones. while we cannot have one on our phones, we have one on PC, which is obviously Linux or more. we begin with building up the user base by having more user-friendly distributions, more applications capable of doing professional works, teaching children on how to use Linux well (better if we can let them not facing the screen too close like we do daily with phones), all the way towards native Linux phones.
remember Larry Fink's speech on forcing behaviours? let's see how far it gets when we do that instead.
