- klabb3 1y agoOh no, they review thoroughly, to make sure you don’t try to avoid the tax.
- politelemon 1y agoTheir marketing tells you it's for protection. What they fail to omit is it's for their revenue protection - observe that as long as you do not threaten their revenue models, or the revenue models of their partners, you are allowed through. It has never been about the users or developers.

- wyck 1y agoThis isn't obvious, 99% of apps make multiple calls to multiple services, and these SDK's are embedded into the app. How can you tell whats legit outbound/inbound? Doing a fingerprint search for the worst culprits might help catch some, but it would likely be a game of cat and mouse.
