Nell’agosto 2025 Google ha annunciato ↗ che a partire da settembre 2026 non sarà più possibile sviluppare applicazioni per la piattaforma Android senza prima registrarsi centralmente presso Google. Questa registrazione richiederà di:
- Pagare una commissione a Google
- Accettare i termini e le condizioni di Google
- Fornire un documento di identità ufficiale
- Caricare la prova della chiave di firma privata dello sviluppatore
- Elencare tutti gli identificatori delle applicazioni attuali e future
Cosa significa questo per i tuoi diritti
➤ Tu, il consumatore, hai acquistato il tuo dispositivo Android credendo alla promessa di Google che si trattasse di una piattaforma informatica aperta e che avresti potuto eseguire qualsiasi software avessi scelto. Invece, a partire da settembre 2026, ti imporranno senza il tuo consenso un aggiornamento del sistema operativo che bloccherà irrevocabilmente questo diritto e ti lascerà in balia del loro giudizio su quali software potrai ritenere affidabili.
➤ Tu, il creatore, non potrai più sviluppare un’applicazione e condividerla direttamente con i tuoi amici, familiari e comunità senza prima ottenere l’approvazione di Google. La promessa di Android, e il vantaggio di marketing che ha sfruttato per distinguersi da iOS (iPhone), è sempre stata quella di essere “aperto”. Tuttavia, Google ritiene chiaramente di avere un controllo sufficiente sull’ecosistema Android, insieme a un adeguato potere normativo, da poter abbandonare questo principio con pregiudizio e impunità.
➤ Tu, lo Stato, stai cedendo i diritti dei tuoi cittadini e la tua sovranità digitale a un’azienda che ha già dimostrato di assecondare le richieste extragiudiziali dei regimi autoritari di rimuovere applicazioni perfettamente legali che semplicemente non gradiscono. Il software fondamentale per il funzionamento delle tue aziende e dei tuoi governi sarà in balia dei capricci opachi di un’azienda lontana e irresponsabile.
Aggiornamento: Google non ha “fatto marcia indietro” sulla verifica degli sviluppatori
Contrariamente a un vago accenno ↗ a un possibile “flusso avanzato” che potrebbe eventualmente consentire agli “utenti esperti di accettare i rischi dell’installazione di software non verificato”, la descrizione del programma ↗ di Google continua a dichiarare chiaramente che:
A partire da settembre 2026, Android richiederà che tutte le app vengano registrate da sviluppatori verificati per poter essere installate su dispositivi Android certificati.
Fino a quando non avranno dimostrato con prove concrete che sarà possibile aggirare il processo di verifica senza eccessive difficoltà, dobbiamo credere a quanto dichiarato sulla loro pagina ufficiale: che tutte le app di sviluppatori non registrati saranno bloccate una volta che il loro blocco entrerà in vigore.
Come puoi aiutare
Sviluppatori: resistete e rifiutate
Se sei uno sviluppatore di applicazioni, non iscriverti al programma di accesso anticipato, non effettuare la verifica dell’identità e non accettare l’invito alla Android Developer Console. Rispondi (educatamente) a qualsiasi invito con un elenco delle tue preoccupazioni e obiezioni.
—— Solo attraverso il consenso degli sviluppatori il loro piano di presa del potere potrà avere successo. ——
Scoraggia i colleghi sviluppatori di applicazioni e le organizzazioni dall’iscriversi al programma. Utilizza i forum della comunità, i social media e gli articoli dei blog per diffondere il messaggio. Includi la libreria FreeDroidWarn ↗ nel tuo codice per informare gli utenti delle tue applicazioni.
Se sei dipendente o collaboratore di Google con una coscienza pulita e hai ulteriori informazioni sul programma, compresi i dettagli tecnici sull’implementazione previsti o ulteriori motivazioni a suo sostegno, contatta tips@keepandroidopen.org da un computer non aziendale e da un account non gmail. Le tue informazioni saranno trattate con la massima riservatezza.
A tutti: fate sentire la vostra voce
- Installa F-Droid ↗ sui tuoi dispositivi Android. Più persone utilizzano app store alternativi, più difficile sarà chiuderli.
- Invia il tuo feedback direttamente a Google utilizzando il sondaggio sui requisiti di verifica per gli sviluppatori Android ↗.
- Fai sentire la tua voce sui social media e con gli articoli sui blog e inserisci il link a https://keepandroidopen.org ↗.
- Combatti la manipolazione dell’opinione pubblica: quando trovi articoli-post sospetti sui forum della comunità e sui social media che sostengono la politica (“Beh, in realtà…”), confutali e non essere timido.
- Aiuta questo progetto modificando questa pagina ↗ con informazioni più utili.
- Firma questa petizione su change.org ↗
Consumatori: contattate le autorità di regolamentazione nazionali
Le autorità di regolamentazione di tutto il mondo sono sinceramente preoccupate per i monopoli e la centralizzazione del potere nel settore tecnologico e desiderano ascoltare direttamente le persone interessate. Quando contatti direttamente le autorità di regolamentazione, sii educato e specifico riguardo al danno che ritieni che queste politiche causeranno, sia ai consumatori sia alla concorrenza.
I reclami hanno un impatto particolarmente significativo quando sono redatti da un cittadino di un determinato paese o di una determinata regione e quando il testo dell'e-mail è scritto in una delle lingue ufficiali dell'ente governativo della regione. Richiedi una conferma scritta del reclamo e valuta la possibilità di inoltrare eventuali risposte ricevute a victory@keepandroidopen.org in modo che possiamo evidenziarle e farvi riferimento.
