There are apps violating Google's content guidelines that you can usually just sideload. Those often even bring their own update mechanism. ...if you don't like that, there's full alternative stores as well.
Apple App Store restrictions are exceptionally bad because it's the only way to get the app on the phone. The gatekeeping makes denying an app access to the store much more consequential.
- perryizgr8 4y agoI meant that Apple can start requiring absolutely anything as a condition of being allowed on the app store. They can totally say "your app promotes hate speech, even if on other platforms, and so we are banning you from app store". They will just put an appropriate clause in their rules, if it doesn't exist already. That's it, you're breaking their rules.
