That sounds like a good way to piss off customers, rather than piss off Apple and Google. If an app stops working, do you think people are going to blame Apple/Google or the company that actually pulled the trigger on disabling their favorite app?
- jadedhacker 8y agoGaining the sympathy of the public is an important elements in organizing a strike. For brick and mortar business, a strike shuts down the business and prevents serving customers. This isn't much different. I would think tho that the SDK shouldn't disable local functionality, just remote functionality. Disabling e.g. a calculator app on a phone seems too invasive and over the line to me.
