>That also means Huawei will only be able to push security updates for Android once they’re made available in AOSP, assuming the company uses its own update system. It’s not clear yet how this will affect the full range of Android integrations that Huawei depends on, but we will update this story when we receive additional clarification about the impacts of Google’s decision.
Do I understand that right, existing android phones will be cut from their current update mechanism? This is absolutely unbelievable on Googles part.

- steventhedev 7y agoThe executive order[0] doesn't actually call out Huawei by name. I also can't find them on the OFAC search[1], so which entities list are you referring to?
