I am actually unable to install the raw apk. After changing the allowed source setting and getting through the warnings, it says it is installing but at the end just says "App not installed".
This is why we need to support open source hardware and mobile operating systems.
But the large companies work together to close the existing networks. So we also need things like mesh networks and alternative service providers.
But ultimately there has to be some democratic push to reclaim some long distance internet links for the people. Or build new ones.
This means that your device architecture or Android version wasn't compatible, and not that Google is censoring your free speech. If you look into the logs you'll see why it was the case.
The only way Google polices APK installs is via Play Protect which warns you of APKs that aren't commonly installed/marked as harmful, with an option to bypass the warning. You can also disable that.
