    When they say security, they mean their own financial security.

      I’m almost certain that rooting is going to come back with a vengeance and we’ll be doing ever so slightly more complicated workarounds. Fuck Google. I refuse to watch a YouTube ad or sponsor unless I directly consent to supporting that individual creator.

        I’ll take that bet.

        I am going to bet they come for Rooting next. Unlockable Bootloaders.

        In fact they already have started

        Security from the evil villains who want to block ads. Jesus would have wanted everyone to watch ads as god intended, and these degenerates need to be taken down.

    Giant corporations, like billionaires, pivot to trying to control the rest of us when they get too big. Google/Alphabet is not exempt. I remember when their motto was “Don’t be evil.” Now they want to control what I can install on the personal devices I bought…

      When a company changes their motto away from “don’t be evil” you know damn well they are evil.

      They still have that motto:

      Don’t be evil ^to the shareholders^

      This was supposed to be taken down, but I guess its a proof how you can passively promote piracy on to the play store. This app shows a list of games that have been cracked & repacked

    Do they have any evidence that F-droid serves more malware than Play Store?

      According to them, when they added a similar registration process and requirements for the playstore they saw a SIGNIFICANT drop on malware.

        I don’t find that shocking, and to be honest, I don’t really see too much of a problem with forcing people to give that information to be on the play store. But to let people make programs that run on the hardware at all is crazy. Forbidding third party app stores is the most anti competitive bullshit ever.

      I was curious of the same a few days back, and my research couldn’t find a single instance of malware being distributed by the F-Droid store.

        But even if it does, what’s it to them if something they have no say over affects people not using their stuff?

        1. Write an open source malware
        2. Freely publish it everywhere because everyone assumes someone checked it, because it’s open source, you know?
        3. ???
        4. Profit

          I mean, there are many excellent open source malware.

          The ??? Is mostly phishing campaigns, I think.

        It’s the symbol of that release group. The reason for that is unknown to me.
