However, saying that Apple never did that while Google did makes no sense; Apple isn't a service provider, while Google is, in this case. It makes just as much sense to say that Google never required their devices to be jailbroken to be user-controllable, while Apple did - or that Google never said that jailbreaking was illegal, while Apple did.

- protomyth 17y agoDoes Google Voice say, "we don't want to pay a connection fee" or does it just block the call? Was Google open about blocking certain people? I think if they cost one person a job or internship because of blocked calls, that qualifies as "evil". I find it funny that AT&T had to figure out who was getting blocked and how sloppy Google was doing it (Google was blocking more numbers then they had to to avoid the fee). I'm glad that you are unaffected by such things, tis a shame for other people.
