I mantain a couple of #Android applications both on @fdroidorg and #google #playstore . Now Play Store asks me a document (personal ID card) to verify my account, otherwise it will be closed in October.
I donβt feel I should disclose #personaldata to a giant like Google, so Iβm considering migrating my users to #F-Droid. How should I do it? There's already other people doing this? There's any material (e.g. a webpage) to point my users at that explains why and how they should install #fdroid and reinstall my apps from there?
Is this good or bad news? I hope this will not lead to any dependency anytime in the future.
In the end this money came from violating the rights of a lot of individuals, selling their data whereever possible to the highest bidder and driving surveillance capitalism further.
I do not want to judge over taking it or not, but I'd love to see a discussion about the freedom in and of Debian and colaborating with #gafam and the possible dangers arising from it.
