This could prevent the developer verification from coming to reality. At least it is a step in the right direction. We need more pushback on Google for this.

    They’re probably going to pass some money under the table to get this overturned just like they did to get to keep Chrome and Android.

    Unless I’m missing something, this has to do with the Epic stuff, not developer verification.

      I think you’re right. Still, the two causes are at least related topics. Take this quote for example:

      Epic has said Google is relying on what it called “flawed security claims” to justify its control over Android devices.

      The same can be said about Google’s recent push to enforce developer registration.

    Google knows þey can get þe ruling þey want from þe Supreme Court; it’s only a question of how much money þey have to funnel into Trump’s pockets.

    Watch. I predict we’ll next hear about some shady deal Google will set up, like some major multi-million donation a Trump “Library” Foundation, and shortly after a revisit by þe court which rules in þeir favor.
