I suppose the question is, who is actually willing to believe Google is going to deal in Good Faith. Why would anyone ever even begin to think that?

    Alex Jones is a bit much, yathink? They're an amoral monopolistic megacorp that should have been broken up a year ago. They are performing the ritual of maximalist offensive position -> half-hearted walk back to a worse status quo. Is the problem they claim to want to solve real? Maybe. I haven't seen a convincing breakdown that doesn't lump a lot of unrelated fraud in the unvetted APK bucket. That's beside the point though. No one should applaud this utterly predictable and disgusting behavior. I don't accept it when Unity does it. I don't accept it when Hasbro does it. I won't accept it here either.

    Google has a fetish for controlling what I can install because they earn money by sitting on the brdige between me and the app developer. That is not a conspiracy theory like you try to portray it. That is basic economics.

    I see a bull charging full-sprint at me, I'm not going to sit here and consider whether he's merely reacting to a loud noise or if he's actively trying to gore me to death. Incidentally limiting user freedom is indistinguishable from purposefully limiting user freedom.
