After the news cycle recently exploded with the announcement that Google would require every single Android app to be from a registered and verified developer, while killing third-party app stores …
I wonder if Epic games will sue them again. Epic has their own side loaded APK for the mobile Epic Games Store.
Wasn’t this prevented by the last lawsuit?
The verification is supposedly not linked to play protect at all. Presumably Epic will be a verified developer even without being on Google Play and therefore their apk’s will remain installable regardless of distribution method. If Epic were blocked then I imagine they’d absolutely have grounds to sue.
The Republicans have managed to insert enough of their sycophants throughout the American legal system - most notably including the Supreme Court - to ensure corporate interests will always win in the end going forward. The invasion of the Supreme Court is especially insidious because those are lifetime appointments, and they’ve ensured their recent additions to it are young enough to stay in place for a very long time.
This has already had effects in allowing Trump get away with literal murder by them expanding the power of the Oval Office to absurd amounts with recent “decisions.”
That means all those courts of appeals judges and lower court judges he appoints are also there until they leave or get better jobs higher in the judiciary food chain.
Ugh. I was unaware, although I guess I should have realized it from the fact they have to be vetted by the Senate. Can you tell I’m no legal eagle? I hate how laws are treated by most people as if they’re the very definition of what’s right and wrong when so many of them blatantly aren’t.

All federal judge appointments are for life.

But what about EU?
In the next decade Google will receive a strongly worded letter about it. In just under two decades Google will be forced to stop doing that.
