The ban is silly, but I’d have Apple and Google remove the app for all users with a billing address in Montana.

I've never heard a better rationale for not using Apple products or a "Googled" Android device[0]. That it's even possible for Apple/Google Play to do something like that (although I'm not so sure they'd do so -- and I'm not so sure they could be forced to either -- but IANAL) is horrific overreach and definitely reason for stabbing people in the eye[3] I own my device. I paid for it. It is mine. I will put whatever the hell I want on it. [0] LineageOS[1] with F-Droid[2]? [1] https://lineageos.org/ https://lineageos.org/ [2] https://f-droid.org/ https://f-droid.org/ [3] I'm being (mostly) metaphorical here.
- wanderingmind 4y agoI suggest microg+lineageos with FDroid and Aurora, for the reason many apps need google play services to function
- nailer 4y agoSorry. General purpose computing is legacy tech now - even your desktop has a second OS install (Minix inside IME) that you don’t have access to. RMS was right, but nobody listened.
- hellojesus 4y agoLots of false positives if you do that. What happens if you're on a shared plan, and the only resident of Montana is the primary bill-to person?
- nailer 4y agoYep, but it’s Google, they won’t care.
