Yeah, I dropped my apps from Play, couldn't find a way to avoid putting my personal address on there.. fuck that, I'm making something for free, and they force me to dox myself for it? Nah, I'm good.
- brap 1y agoBy “they”, you mean the EU?
- healsdata 1y agoThe EU regulations don't exclude P.O. Boxes. Google choose to add that requirement.
- campl3r 1y agoEU doesn't force this for free Apps, nor does it prohibit PO boxes. This is Google's choice
- kassner 1y agoGoogle decided to make it worse than it needed. Those EU regulations are only applicable if your app makes money via IAP or subscriptions. If you are providing a free app, nothing changed, but Google decided that everyone must follow it. That is true even if you choose to not display ads (so at no point Google will send you money).
- dusted 1y agomaybe, or google.. I didn't want to make it into a political thing, EU has done a lot of silly stuff, part due to malice, part to incompetence, but I'd take that any day over the "usa model" of "freedom" :)
