As it seems a lot of people have been fooled by a fake announcement on #reddit that the development of #MicroG will stop, please have a look at Marvin's clarification that he will continue with the development: https://mastodon.social/@larma/104502939454245144
If your on Android, and use the Google Play Store, then there's something to change.
The Google Play Store is the place to see

Instead use F-Droid.

@Korsier I think living in the modern world shouldn't require a trade-off of privacy etc. in order to share information in ways you can control (to the extent possible). I think one of the biggest problems today is people's conditioned belief that you simply have to relinquish control and rights in order to get the best out of technology.
"Do you have something to hide?" is a manipulative rebuke to those that use #encryption.
It would help us all turn this conversation around. Because, the answer is: YES, we do have something to hide.
Things that we should hide, and must question why a government or business NEEDS access to:
- Medical history.
- Sensitive conversations with employers, children, spouses.
- Billing and banking information.
- Purchase information.
- Web search history.
And more...
