Given the way Google has walked back the Android platform's "openness" by moving more and more APIs that modern apps require access to into Google Play Services, they are now missing out on security, privacy, and openness.
- simonh 8y agoRight, because being open says nothing about quality, reliability, security, or really anything much at all. What matters is accountability. If you give your stuff away and third parties hack, abuse, crapify and sell on your stuff with a name associated with you on it, that’s a problem. It is more open, but it’s more open to abuse much as to anything else.
