Honestly? even if we succeed in this , Google will simply fuck things up in something else, the only real solution is that it completely looses people acceptnace , and that's the hardest part because the majority don't think about changing things if it's comfortable enough

Like shelving Android completely like so many of their successful products?

Kinda, or any action that pulls the rug enough so that Google makes concessions because it can't use its privileges as a corporation , but it's hard to see this happening now
