I cannot speak for other people. You can look up my comment history on similar discussions if you so desire.
My position when Apple was throwing a hissy fit because of EU regulations is that Apple should go fuck itself.
Now, likewise, I hope the EU assrapes Google with fines if they move on with this bullshit.
> EU assrapes Google with fines
Why? On what grounds? It hurts upsets a few people?
On the grounds that they are abusing their market dominance to harm consumers.
I, and many others, rely on being able to slideload apps on Androids.
> market dominance to harm consumers.
If Google decides to abandon Android tomorrow, or go all in on Windows Mobile OS, is that an "abuse of market dominance"? In reality, private companies are free to make decisions that make sense to them.
There's no law that says things should be "free", or everyone should be "happy" with a companies decision.
