- GeekyBear 1y agoThe problem here is that Google lied about Android being open. The solution is to force Google to keep the promise that they made to consumers, which is the job of the courts. I would expect them to lose yet another antitrust case over this if they don't back down. Does Google want to have Android and Chrome stripped from their control?

And the EU will back their sideloading validation because they want to spy on all of us anyway. This will be done with a backdoor in each chat app, meaning they want to be able to block unsanctioned apps.
- GeekyBear 1y agoStripping Chrome from Google's control is already one of the suggested remedies in one of the antitrust cases Google has recently lost in the US.
