- tonyedgecombe 5y agoI think we can be sure that any uncurated app stores would quickly become a cesspit. Once you acknowledge this you have to accept that original complainant would have the same problem everywhere. Nobody will want his trash in their store.
- fulafel 5y agoAllowing other app stores doesn't imply that they are uncurated. And the threat of alternative app store competition would of course also limit the censorship and abuse of power Apple/Google can pull in their app store practices.

The point is once they are curated then the people writing yet another garbage horoscope app are still going to be out of luck. >And the threat of alternative app store competition would of course also limit the censorship and abuse of power Apple/Google can pull in their app store practices. Choosing what is in your store isn't an abuse of power.
