Wilden offered some hope for a future in which ROMs could vouch for their non-criminal nature to Google
Oh, that rubs me the wrong way! It’s my godd***ed device, I paid for it with my money, and I’ll run whatever I damn well want on it (which is never vanilla Android because I refuse to allow my devices to be ad platforms).
I shouldn’t have to prove anything to anyone let alone have it treated as a “criminal OS” by default.
Google needs to be broken up and both Chrome and Android divested to 3rd party, non-profit companies (as well as being demoted to a minority on both steering committees).

@downpunxx@fedia.io it would be awesome if you could use the cross post feature in the future so the discussion doesn’t get divided
