You can still go graphene and isolate play services in a secondary profile.

For a better future: Organisations and services that structure themselves to require third party services need to take contractual responsibility for the actions in their fulfillment supply chain, just as an online retailer takes responsibility for delivery agents. Google play services harvesting needs to be reflected in the privacy policy of every company that doesn't provide alternative access.

Wonder what will happen if we all start making data protection complaints about enforced non contractual third party data harvesting?

Can we trust that isn’t a campaign to promote Google? What are these websites? Why aren’t they blocking an iPhone? Can any of that be replicated or is this just a Google campaign to create fear and doubt

Makes GrapheneOS even more essential, get a 2nd hand Pixel if you don't want to directly support Google.

There are rumors Graphene is releasing an official phone
