while i understand this is a cremnob post i do have to wonder how the euros and russia expect to get around the fact that anyone can choose to use android without google services they just lose access to... um, google services

i dont see how its anticompetitive for google to say that if you want to sell devices with their poo poo that you cant also sell devices that directly compete with them at the same time

ofc this is all a means for the eu to extract money from american corporations so it has no basis in reality but still

no the only way theyre updating the app services and apis is via google services which you dont need if you forked android because you dont have access to the play store

unless ofc youre saying that what those encouraging antitrust proceedings want is access to the google ecosystem of apps without having to pay google or use their services which is indeed what they want to do

If you don't see how saying "if you wanna put a competing search engine on your Android then you're going to be selling an Android without apps" might be a tad monopolistic...

They could always partner up with Amazon, who has a pretty established Android app marketplace.

which raises another point: google demands that you not only not release a non-approved android device under your own brand, but you can't even make one for someone else.

i can turn a switch on my dryer so it buzzes when it finishes. my washer doesn't do that but then it was literally The Cheapest Washer we could find.

the only reason i would want a washer with a smartphone app is so that i could upload my own cycle alert tones.
