@eff

I've gotten an alarmist email from a non-profit standards body that included some rather steep falsehoods. It's ironic that the language of the bill discussed the current direction this seems to be going in the courts, and they seemed much worse for the standards bodies.

@aral I'm not sure what's outrageous about a company that makes #android phones making android phones? #fairphone has chosen a very specific battle to fight in this industry, and this is a battle they will lose if they're fighting on other fronts. They have a history of supporting other builds on their phones, and, as others here have mentioned, @murena sells fairphones without #google.
