A piece of me: modern day tech

A Piece of Me. Another internet manifesto.
For https://keepandroidopen.org/ , https://www.fightforthefuture.org/ , the youtube privacy union on tumblr from Edward Snowden, Wikipedia, Hong Kong protesters and whistle blowers. Bless you.

For freedom fighters, internet addicts and social justice people <3

Hello dear friends and humans rights protectors thank you so much I admire you all and look up to you.
Thank you for your work, thanks for caring and thanks for giving hope I dearly admire each and everyone of you with every pixel and keyboard. The future was supposed to be a place of freedom a haven, but clearly 26+ years latter ever since 2013 that hasn’t been holding up but people like you make it a more breathable place.
Technology is magic and tragic its beautiful its cruel and the screen of a computer whether it be Mac, Dell or Windows made off of blood and cruelty a piece of hell and is also a gateway to (digital) heaven.
Modern technology is sleek and fast its also where people get a vast majority of their information from.
App stores are an example of modern technology a way for people to gain access to information call their loved ones play games get work done learn something and best of all are easy and popular to use.

Of recently the giant tech corporation Google and its company Android have recently began to close-source its products by 2027 adding more restrictions and barrier entries to their products for developers who want to fully distribute their apps to over 20 people, this is an issue due to the great potential for censorship both corporate and governmental since Google has worked/complied with governments for example the CCP and has collaborated with Project Nimbus in the past and rule enforcement is largely localized leaving protesters, dissidents, and minorities oppressed.

Internet archive version : https://web.archive.org/web/20261017181745/https://developer.android.com/developer-verification/guides/full-distribution

In order to distribute apps Google has said this will require their: 
“The specific identity documents required will depend on your geographic location. To help you prepare and get started, review the list of acceptable documents:
Legal name and address: Individuals must submit a government-issued photo ID and proof of address document as part of the verification program. Examples of acceptable ID and proof of address documents for individuals in the United States include:
Passport State identification Driving license Permanent resident card or Green card Government issued photo ID with address listed Utility bill for electricity, water, gas, internet, cable TV Insurance statement (home insurance, health insurance, and so on) Credit card or bank statement Contact details: A private email address and phone number, verified with a one-time password (OTP).”
In order to share an app with over 20 people, this is unnecessary firstly, insecure if Google gets hacked and a massive violation of both free speech, information, privacy, private property by limiting on what you can say via Googles regional restrictions and the company itself and limiting on how you express yourself, and most of all your privacy and the less protesters can stay anonymous the easier it is to target them.
Code is speech and all speech is free, its just another way of speaking like a different language and a different format what will occur from this new policy are massively high restrictions that will effect the most vulnerable members of our society even if you think that your movement is safe and won’t get effected by this remember censorship is contagious and evolves in very disturbing ways.

Censorship used to be bold burn it lock it cross it lock it in your pocket condemn it symbols strong ones that could be pointed out but now all it takes is privately owned algorithms shifting to influence public opinion this has happened mostly to increase engagement. Combine the rise of surveillance technology with mass centralization, the secrecy of these corporations and combine this with the general downfall of democracy and you can see how this poses as a threat. It used to be clear cut it used to be the king and queen but now manipulation is subtle embedded in every area of our entire structure.

This is a form anti-trust since Google is one of the largest company’s and by largest I mean Google Inc. dominates 91.1% just for their search engine when apps can serve as alternative competition to Google your cause can be stomped getting spread at anytime, anywhere by anyone and you might not even know. We have seen the same thing with Apple: https://applecensorship.com/ especially with Muslim and Queer community content and even if your focus isn’t the internet that's where is should because the future of the internet is the future of humans.
Why I'm I telling you this because this can put activists and developers in real word danger remember Google is a privately owned corporation they have no legal incentive to be open and can be funded by anyone.
Even if your concern isn’t the internet all rights are worth fighting for because even if you don’t care about privacy the more you fight for someone else's the freer you and everybody else is and the more you can choose how to enjoy your own life without violating somebody else's human rights and isn’t that what your all fighting for?
What these massive tech companies are able and are doing is a threat to all protesters and all justice movements ww world wide. Privacy and freedom of information/speech are where all protest movements come from BLM protesters shouldn’t be pitted against privacy protesters and anti-genocide of Palestine protesters shouldn’t be pitted against those anti-genocide of Uyghurs in fact all activists world wide from the Arab Spring to The Umbrella Revolution in Hong Kong, from civil rights to free tech, from Feminism to Lgbqt+, for all people, to the Middle East, Europe, Africa, America, Asia, North and South Pole to the Moon Mars then back and where ever humanity goes you have a right to freedom and how to enjoy your life people have a right to say whatever they want wrong or right, you have a right to think, and live how you want because you own your body (expect violating others humans rights) and this all starts with privacy a vast majority of information young people the agents of change get is from the internet and of late app stores are dominating force in technology.

18 to 24 year olds use apps 3 hours a day according to worldmetrics.org
The people with the most power to change will have an entire market of non conventional apps blocked.
This isn't about apps this is about rights.

Why in order to speak should you have to give a PRIVATE COMPANY no a PRIVATE MONOPOLY in fact remember no one knows all of the things happening in Google except those working there, Google isn’t even open source. But just in general WHY should you have to hand over your personal most identifying information to anybody? Just to exercise you basic rights? Code is free speech so why should you have to give all of this data just to speak? This is not only unnecessary at best and oppressive at average but also puts all protesters in intimate danger by making it easier and easier to monitor people that includes your organization too, just look at the "security” practices in China
( https://www.cnn.com/2025/12/04/china/china-ai-censorship-surveillance-report-intl-hnk
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_surveillance_in_China )
and then https://www.endringpartnerships.com/
Just a few examples along with Edward Snowden in America the home of the free which keep in mind happened in 2013 with significantly less technology and with even less technology with COINTELPRO in the 1970.
Remember Google assisted with the genocide in Palestine along with a long list of other companies like Amazon, Meta and Palantir humans rights aren’t an incentive because human rights don’t pay in capital especially not privacy, genocide is murder and murder is death and once you help out with that or join an organization that helped out with it you have blood on your hands.
The biggest lie other then “inevitable” is the one that everything is fine and everything will work out, for who? For what?
Continuing.
And here is the last part of the document:

“Additional requirements for organizations
D-U-N-S number: A unique 9-digit identifier for your organization provided by Dun & Bradstreet that is used globally to establish your business's legal identity. If your organization doesn't have one, you can get one at no cost from the Dun & Bradstreet website.Verified website: Your organization's website must be verified using Google Search Console.Official organization documents: The following are examples of what organizations in the United States must provide. The documents required in your location may be different.Any document, notice, or letter either issued by the IRS or stamped by the IRS that states your organization name, such as CP575, 147C, CP299, 988, 937, 1050, or 5822.Forms submitted to the IRS will only be accepted if a copy of the form is available on the IRS website. Some examples are Forms 8871 and 990.Certificate of Business Incorporation issued by the state where you conduct business activities that states your Organization nameYour most recent SEC filing (for example, 10-K, 10-Q or 8-K forms) that state the Organization name Business credit reports that state your Organization name from Experian, Equifax, or TransUnion
Only for government departments and agencies: an official letter including full name, address and date”

Why?
All of this?
Why can’t you just make an app? Why can't I speak on a public platform the largest one freely?
The internet was once upoun a time the freest place, in the whole ww wide world now every single technological advancement seems just to be to close the browsers even more more targeted ads, more Ai “security" cameras, more and more and more restrictions and in the end or the start humans right activists protesters Dissidents whistle blowers will be targeted. In school when kids learn about the Holocaust they learn that one poem,

“ First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me "


If you think I'm dramatic look at the the Uyghurs genocide and the Palestine one.
Look what happened when private almost holy entities took power with little limits

We say never again but the 21st century is particularly horrifying this time the difference censorship will be silent like ads and smooth like our interfaces the next assault on freedom is quiet democratic downfall and increase of surveillance capitalism, when Facebook was caught with Onavo and as targeted ads became more and more pervasive. People stopped for the most part caring horrors of daily life grew on us until we stopped caring or maybe just couldn't care anymore we watch horror movies to laugh. Ai companies love saying inevitable incels think its hopeless except that's a lie we can change things but we can’t expect starving people to fight off the Nazi army off with broken twigs. All forms of activism against oppression must come together in order to survive because dictatorship loves dictatorship, hate breeds hate monarchy makes monarchy, bigotry makes bigotry and people make each other we can make each other.
The more people that come together fighting for each other irregardless of nation, colour, gender, sex or what ever else, and despite their sector of human rights the more people come together to fight whether it be against bigotry, sexism, racism, and anti-lbgqt+ or what ever else is messed up right now when people activists come together pull each other up and have each others backs then all of their causes move forward faster and more united the more we get used to this world the worse it gets. Objectively if environmentalism is an issue wide spread in feminist groups and feminism is wide spread in environmentalist groups then both ideologies have more power, replace Feminist and Environmentalist with what ever you like of course both groups would have a focus on their main subject but in all they would both support each other.
We all need to start signing petitions collaborating with each other we need to stand up for those opposing internet age laws and internet censorship or all kinds of censorship really. Privacy information are human rights and they are what you all stand on those foundations are being threatened by things like this. Its not just Android its Apple its each time someone willing watches an ad when they could use an adblocker a small act of power these company’s use its all of the Kids Acts for regulation of the internet, its blocked websites, its when free dies off when public spaces like Times Square get used for corporate bill boards its when literacy is killed off its when people have become so desensitized to violence to the point it becomes entertainment.
I don’t believe in conspiracy, birds fly and conspiracy theories are trash, absolute garbage because the assume that we are powerless when really any of us can change but I do believe that that we are pretty close to an old techo-dystopia like the targeted adverting of today would sound like 1984 to anyone in 1969.
Privacy and free technology are your absolute needs because if your anonymous or have the ability to be then your free and you can fight back for your cause.
You all need to be working together an linking each others causes
I was about to email keepandriodopen.org to polish this but then realized that there won’t be enough time and hasn’t been time. This isn’t about “security” or apps this is about freedom its our absolute goal should be every persons to fight, for humans rights ww world wide not just in their country’s declared boarders but for all people even if it is just keeping the internet open or quitting Google just a little will help even if you are free and accepted now tomorrow might always be a different story. Freedom is always running out of time.
Which everyone of you read this fully is a real-life angel <3


Look with Ai and face recognition, this is the age of control in the hands of a few all activists must come together or else you'll get watered down into what you hated or fade away.


I would have written this better but I was in a massive rush. sorry for my repetition it must be due to all of the ads.
wwdemocracy wipe you feet at the carpet.
Thank you <3

(Sorry for the low quality I was in a rush.)
