- gomox 8y agoCityMapper is too. Banning competitors seems like a recipe for antitrust lawsuits.
- zenexer 8y agoThis sort of app is quite common and serves a distinct, specialized purpose, so I doubt that. Additionally, Google doesn’t generally remove apps that compete with their own; it’s Apple that does that.
- steve_taylor 8y agoGoogle has been caught banning AdSense accounts to avoid paying website ownsers. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were found to be banning developers of apps that take eyeballs away from Google services.
