Years later, some posters are still in place. I can’t wait for us to have a new test network to start advertising with posters again.

There are no point to develop safe app, because google will ban immediately after safenetwork realese… Is there any solution?

[third party] is not a reason. They are the problem.
The intent is to not need third party… it’s that dependency that compromises privacy; security; and freedom.
Google is (often) evil; sky is (sometimes) blue.

SAFE market app, like amazon does? Even if the market app is a direct download, the rest will be through the app.
Quality assurance would need to be taken seriously though. Maybe something for maidsafe or the foundation to consider.

Yes, apps can still be downloaded directly from a website (even one on the safe network). Google Play store is a convenience, not a necessity.

I’m going to throw this out here, cos I was kind of surprised too - you can use android phones with google very much diminished, and f-droid for browsers and whatever else.
I’m not signed in to a google account on my android since a few weeks, have deleted all sorts of stupid apps after a bit of research including gmail, and everything is fine. Take the plunge android users, it’s a small intermediary step towards pine phones, graphene os, etc

Not a fan of this cancel culture… big corporations have way too much power and flexing now in ways that are not good for all, in the shortterm; or good for anyone, over the medium and long term.
Like all forms of power corruption, they will do what they want relative to the rules they right for themselves.
Amazon is removing “free speech” social network Parler from its web hosting service for violating rules.

It’s not just tech companies now, this nonsense is moving to employers as well.
With this moving into the physical realm freedom of speech dead.

and there was talk of the likes of Microsoft 365 having too much big brother productivity management included… bosses “knowing” what’s happening because of basic data then being misinterpreted.
The problem obviously that seems not embedded in common sense, are the number of errors that occur. Social contract is about NOT imposing stupidity on others… but damn don’t Governments and Corporations get it wrong. So many problems return us to the same conclusion: Individuals need tools like Safe Network to fight back against this nonsense.

It looks like the need to decouple from private hosting services is ratcheting up. Safe Network is an obvious solution to this.
The sequence of events are pretty crazy. I know deplatforming is in vogue, but to see their AWS hosting severed too must set a new high watermark for Internet censorship.
Let’s hope we get a usable network out there soon, so people can start building this stuff out. Twitter isn’t complicated either. Ofc, you need the network effect to make it popular, but starting on strong foundations would seem a good idea for such controversial applications.

I’ve never used Parler, but perhaps they should investigate using safe network as a backend too.
