You have a choice, you can buy an Android phone, use fdroid, etc. Let's not get the government involved, it never really works out well.

  >Let's not get the government involved, it never really works out well. I for one like my fire department and police. Sure, the government fucks up a lot of times, but at least in a democratic society I get to vote while in a "small government" society the power which would be wielded by government (and thus by the people, at least in theory) will be wielded completely by unelected powerful entities not accountable to the people, aka corporations and a few of the rich.

    Hello. I have downvoted your post as your position on fire departments is poorly related to GP's concerns about government involvement in the context of app censorship.

      Except that's not what the OP said. It was "government sucks, it would suck here too". So thanks for your explanation on why you deny me useless internet points.

    I like roads, but not ones with roadblocks every mile. Lets be sensible.

    > I for one like my fire department and police. Well, we do have government mandated standards for emergency numbers, and emergency alerts. I’m not sure we want more government involvement than that.
