Glad I don’t use any Google services and no apps on graphene OS then for my main computers I run Fedora silverblue with no Google once again.

No there would be no blocking the would just shut it down but the could sanction any company that violates the ban that’s about it for enforcement. But a VPN to another country would bypass it but it would not be US version of tiktok.

That sucks my bank app doesn’t seem to rely on it for anything other than notifications and I can live without those.

Because I am trapped here and have to use current tech and you know I dont do off the grid! 🖖
