This is the worse time to be doing this with so many people that are unemployed or under-employed often turn to coding as a way to make extra income. Its definitely a Monopoly abusing its power.
You hit the nail on the head. Google now has buts on a hair trigger banning developers for life--I filed a complaint with the FTC, I hope all developers do
I’m not a developer but signed your change.org petition. Cant believe there are only 10 signature. there should be millions! These Oligarchs have us under their thumb — get moving people https://c.org/b8sLJX89Qq
Thank you so much -- it's tough for people to grasp that why i wrote the Medium post. To show the trend against amongst and the historical context of Big Tech icing out competition
Its all over reddit users being block for bogus reason - can't believe this isnt a bigger story. Google is clearly abusing its power--and we just let it.
Just saw a post today, person entered banking credentials incorrectly instead -- blocked account
Google needs to be broken up plain and simple - I just singed your petition!
Couldn't agree more. People thought that may happen when Google lost its case against the DOJ, but they got a tap on the wrist. Hopefully independent developers will file FTC complaints and prompt action.
Google is an oligarch. It needs to be spilt up. To bad when it lost its lawsuit against DOj didn’t do that last year.
