Yes but it's just as bad Micro G is still installed as a root app in the system and still uses proprietary Google code required for MicroG to work so micro G may limit the data the get but the are still getting it. I use proton mail on GOS with no sandboxed Google Play and just notifications are broke and that's fine by me.

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.

Glad I switched from iOS to Graphene OS and no Google all Open Source.

Could always search and see if there are any builds for it many open source router firmware out there. OpenWrt, DD-WRT is where I would start looking.

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.

The apps would be delisted from all App stores and then tiktok said the would have to shut down the US Servers.

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

Is this available any where else other than Google Play? I don't have any play services or play store on my phone and rightfully won't ever again.
