minus-squarebigFab@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up28·2 年前On top of what Aatube says about secret unfair deals, Google’s Play Store is necessary to run essential social services. In my case I need it to download my banking app and to sign into my university’s online studies.

minus-squareCavemanfreak@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 年前But that won’t necessarily change with this ruling right? Your government doesn’t need to change how their apps function because of this.
minus-squarebigFab@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 年前I really hope you’r wrong on that. Anyways, it’s a pleasure to see Google bleeding.
