Right, if they don't try you blame them, if they do try you blame them. You clearly have a grudge to bury.

- catalogia 7y agoI would never hold it against Google if they purged malware from Play Store. Particularly since android makes it easy for alternative appstores to exist, most notably the superb F-Droid, which mitigates some of the risk of Google getting it wrong. When alternative sources are not readily available, the calculus changes. When the platform is a walled garden, the matter of banning the wrong script/app becomes more serious. Apple's appstore, Mozilla's firefox extension platform and Google's chrome extension platform fall into this category. Because they make it difficult to install apps/extensions from other sources, they have a moral responsibility to perform to be more careful with what they ban. (Also, I do not accept the premise that Google is actually trying in a meaningful way.)
