Right to repare is a different issue, which I strongly support.
What I'm talking about is whether google/developer should be able to brick a pirated app on your phone. I've done my fair share of pirating, and I would much rather have that be the outcome than the developer taking legal action against me. I have a friend who was sued for 10k by the music industry for pirating 1000s of songs. If there was a way for them to just render those songs unplayable I think she would take that option in a heartbeat.
What I would have a problem with is google preventing you from doing anything legal on your android phone simply because it hurts their bottom line.
- qwertay 8y agoI don't think google should even be able to see what apps I have installed on my phone outside of the google play store. If they can't see that then there is no way they could block ones they don't like. Of course they most certainly will track that which is why I have removed all play services from my phone. Its like asking if the police can install a camera in your house and if they see you smoking weed they can come in and take it so you don't get a fine.
