That's exactly the problem with our world today... the Googles, Facebooks and YouTube. Alphabet companies controlling our DATA. We give up a LOT OF PRIVACIES in the name of convenience and to communicate and seem HIP!!! We don't need these companies in our lives. They just kinda crept in, took over and we let them. Android was supposed to be ours, to do with what we wanted, with the system, with the device!!! Who remembers when this all started? Samsung was a nobody. HTC was top and they wanted you to have their software. They had a page just for DEVELOPERS. Now, someone (Samsung, Apple) invent a phone and put their skin on it and lock you out claiming proprietary information. We don't need them, and for this phone company to risk failing because it can't access MAINSTREAM (google) should warn us of something... I'll end this here!!!
