Imagine if the power company cut off people’s electricity in error 1/10 of the time. That’s insane and dangerous. Apps are an important part of the economy and having a false positive rate of 10% when the consequence is severely harming a company is unacceptable. Not sure if it means regulators should get involved but Google (and to a certain extent Apple) have had this problem for many years and it doesn’t seem like market forces are going to change their policy. I think the angle to take here is that Google is being anticompetitive by blocking a mail competitor from Android. So I think anti-trust is the existing set of laws that apply and hopefully will be pursued. Hopefully it’s just Google’s stupidity and not malice, but I think all the data to determine that is private and confidential to Google so requires some legal compulsion for evidence in order to investigate.
