What #Google plans is unacceptable.
Keep pushing back.
⭐ But: although they plan to add additional speed bumps, current plans will NOT prevent side loading outright. (And given the political climate they don't dare invite additional regulatory scrutiny by barring side loading. They are evil ... but not completely clueless.)
Definitely push push push back -- but also, please research the planned changes -- confirm side loading is not going away.
❌ Do not take our word for it.
📚 Research this for yourselves.

NEW: Missouri Voters Just Made It Much Harder for Lawmakers to Overturn Citizen-Led Initiatives
For years, Missouri Republicans worked to undo or restrict voter-approved laws and amendments. In passing Amendment 6, voters have not only protected the ballot initiative process but also dramatically strengthened their power over the legislature.

NEW: Despite a legal requirement to do so, Vermont never audited a water project that’s cost nearly a billion.
“I find it amazing that they haven’t done the audit and that somebody in the legislature did not hold them to account,” said a former lawmaker.

$10,000 fine for killing over 700 native and endangered protected animals..
$14.28 each.. Other life is 'cheap' when you're a Human..
"The white-walled room packed with magpies, galahs and sulphur-crested cockatoos, foxes and possums is eerily quiet. As a video pans across shelves filled with these and many other species, there is no flapping or squawking or hissing; the animals are frozen and silent.
They are among the more than 700 native animals that were found illegally taxidermied and frozen that were seized from the property of a Victorian antiques store owner last year.
On Tuesday, 74-year-old Glenn Richard Rollo was fined $10,000 by a court after he pleaded guilty to 13 charges, including selling and possessing protected and threatened wildlife and failing to provide treatment to a sick animal."

#Defense Secretary #PeteHegseth told #Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei on Tuesday that if Anthropic does not allow its #AI model to be used “for all lawful purposes” [as if that’s what they plan to use it for], the #Pentagon would cancel Anthropic’s $200 million contract. In addition to the #contract cancellation, Anthropic would be deemed a “supply chain risk,” a classification normally reserved for companies connected to foreign adversaries, #Hegseth said.
