This is worse than Apple. With Apple you knew where you stood day 1.

  If you go back far enough, the original iPhone didn’t even promise to give you the ability to install apps.

  Its worse in a different way. I mean when people complained about Apple, the standard reply was "if you don't like Apple use Android,it's open! ". Now when people complain about Android doing the same, the answer is how is it wrong if Google does it, when Apple has been doing this forever.

  lol my god the apple shills are out in full force. this is implementing a tiny fraction of control over probably less than 1% of android users (hint for the hn crowd: you dont represent real people and you need to remember that) in an effort to stop a very real problem that far far far more than the people affected by this face. yet they are worse than apple who has been doing this since day one to 100% of users. you’re an unserious person

    I just made a comment. Whether or not you consider it serious or not is for you to decide.
