I am not the author of the petition, but I think it is a good idea to support the existing petition. However, if you want to create a petition on the European Union's platform for citizens, that would be a great idea.

📣 Attention all custom ROM users and advocates for digital rights! 📣

Google's Play Integrity is limiting access to certain functionalities and applications for those using custom operating systems. This is a direct attack on the open-source community and a step towards further consolidating Google's monopoly in the mobile ecosystem.

The European Commission is aware of the situation, but has deemed it a low priority: europarl.europa.eu/doceo/docum

It's time for us to take action and show Google and the EU how much we care about this issue! 💥

Let's unite and fight for our right to use and develop custom operating systems! 💪

Stop Google from Limiting Custom ROMs!

The Issue:
Google systematically blocks access to apps and functionalities for users running custom Android operating systems, affecting millions of tech-savvy users who modify their devices.

Why Users Choose Custom ROMs:
• Overcome programmed obsolescence when manufacturers stop updating
• Fix bugs in stock operating systems
• Personalize and customize their device's software
• Improve performance and privacy

Google's False Justification:
Google claims Play Integrity ensures "app security" by verifying unmodified app binaries on "genuine" Android devices. In reality, this is a tactic to:
• Maintain its mobile operating system monopoly
• Restrict user choice
• Convince developers to stay dependent on Play Store

Our Demand:
We call on European Union to consider investigating the monopolistic tactics, and ask Google to allow custom ROM users to:
• Access all applications
• Use device capabilities fully
• Exercise their right to modify owned technology

This is about digital freedom, user rights, and challenging corporate control over personal technology.

Sign now to support technological freedom!
