One day people on the internet will learn what the term „fascism“ entails. This is just plain old government overreach.

"Government overreach" by a private corporation? Let's see what wikipedia has to say about that:
> A fascist corporation can be defined as a government-directed confederation of employers and employees unions, with the aim of overseeing production in a comprehensive manner.

Google goes even further than that: they do not only control and oversee all production via the Play Store, they also control all usage of their products. And while it may currently not be government-directed, they certainly are government-protected as long as they're allowed to run the only app store in town.
