❗️ The EU's digital identity wallet apps require an Apple or Google account to function. A sovereign European ID system that can't run without US Big Tech. 😂

• Officials say Apple/Google were chosen "for security reasons" and cover the largest user base.
• "Other ecosystems" support is only being studied, not built.
• EU wants every state to have a working wallet by year-end. No country looks set to make it.

Google is building a registry that ties every piece of Android software to a government ID, and your phone will soon refuse to run anything that is not on it.

Starting September 2026, an app will not install on a certified Android phone unless its maker has handed Google a government photo ID, paid a fee, registered a payment profile, and signed over the keys to their own code. And not just apps from the Play Store. Every app. The one a friend builds you. The one a stranger across the world wrote and gave away. The one you wrote yourself, for your own phone, in your own home.

Your hardware will check it against Google's list, and if the name is not on file, the door stays shut.

Android was the open one. For fifteen years that was the entire pitch, the one phone where you owned the device and chose the software and no one stood at the gate. That is what is ending.

The phone goes from a thing that runs what you tell it to a thing that runs what Google has approved, and approval now means a legal name in a database.

A malware author will buy a stolen identity for $40 and ship his poison the same as ever. He always has. The registry does not touch him. What it touches is the developer who cannot put his real name on his work. The one building a secure messenger for people a government wants dead. The one shipping a tool that embarrasses the powerful. The one who writes under a handle because the alternative is a knock at the door.

The purpose, in Google's own words, is to "remove the cover of anonymity."

The mask is the oldest tool the free press ever held. The pamphlet with no printer's name. The essay signed with a fake one. Every government that ever feared what its people might read started by demanding to know who set the type. Google has volunteered to be the one who keeps the list.

If you want to install software from a maker who refused the registry, you can, after you enable developer mode, swear to your phone that no one is forcing you to do this, restart the device, wait a full twenty-four hours, and authenticate again. A day-long cooling-off period and a coercion check, to put a program you chose on a phone you own.

It is the permission slip with enough friction that most people stop trying, which was always the point.

F-Droid, the free software catalogue that has handed out unsigned, unregistered, no-name software for over fifteen years, called it existential and refused to comply.

67 organizations told Google to kill the plan. Google moved the date for no one.

So learn the way out now, while the door is still open. The stores that answer to no registry. The phones that were never on Google's list. The skill of putting what you choose onto the machine you own, before that skill becomes a thing you have to wait a day and swear an oath to use.

A phone that asks permission before it runs your software was never your phone. It was theirs, parked in your pocket, billed to your name.

Take it back while taking it back is still allowed.

⚠️Motorola Phones Preinstalled App Found Hijacking Amazon App to Inject Affiliate Codes

Source: https://t.co/ImRZGPld5C

A hidden system application bundled with Motorola smartphones has been caught intercepting user-initiated Amazon app launches and silently redirecting them through affiliate tracking URLs, raising serious concerns about supply chain integrity, user consent, and undisclosed revenue practices on premium Android devices.

The behavior was first reported by a Motorola Razr 60 Ultra user on Reddit, who noticed that tapping the Amazon app icon no longer opened the app directly. Instead, the device launched a browser session pointing to an unfamiliar URL, which subsequently redirected to Amazon[.]com with an embedded affiliate code.
