Nobody suggested killing Android (and they couldn't do it in the first place even if they wanted to). It's about adds. I hope this is a step towards seeing adds

Nobody suggested killing Android (and they couldn't do it in the first place even if they wanted to). It's about adds. I hope this is a step towards seeing adds for what most of them are: lies, propaganda, manipulation, and a pointless arms race that distracts efforts from improving products.
In general, I expect this to go nowhere, of course. However, the fact that the EU can dare suggest such things fills me with hope. Sure, it's due to Europe having pretty much no stake in these technologies and waging a small trade war with the US, but that still means that apparently the cost of lobbying the process is high for the likes of Google.
