the fact he got 800+ signatures on his petition really says something about the platform: https://www.change.org/petitions/sergey-brin-respect-the-efforts-of-small-and-indie-android-developers

I enjoy interacting with my customers directly, and am known to post updates hours or minutes after a bug is discovered by a customer... Android allows me to instantly update my app if a problem is reported.

then he can fix or take down his clearly infringing apps after two warnings.

So, I threw out my macs, smashed my iPhones, switched my whole family to Ubuntu and Android.

so apple made the rules crystal clear and he abandoned them. google has hosed his career and humiliated him, shouldn't he abandon them too?

People online talk of buying Google Play accounts from vendors in Europe.

better yet, he should just move to eastern europe. sounds like he has no problem putting his family in third-world conditions by making them use android and ubuntu.

In this new world of App stores, censorship and account termination, I feel like Borat.

oh great he'll assimilate easily.

My kid just a few weeks ago played some stupid game and I got a $29 bill.

do they really let you keep you buy apps after banning you from wallet and the store?

In this age of Google, it’s now “obey or face an instant lifetime ban.”

i think he can borrow a bitcoin disclaimer here: * instant after a few confirmations.

I also thought that these app bans were automated and once a human looked at my work it would be obvious what was going on. The app termination letters were not very clear in my opinion. If I thought a human at Google was giving me the warning, I might have listened more carefully... I assumed a human would be involved in any banning process and they would clearly see that I was not intending to fool anyone and that my apps were harmless.

he expects them to be human, but assumes they are robots. maybe they are robots that look like humans... cyborgs they're called???

like the blackmailer contacted him pretending to be a hitman and offered to kill himself or something

there was a list of people he wanted dead, and i believe he hired someone who "knew the hells angels" which is a canadian biker gang.

but you could still be right.

I've been trying for 4 months to get my Google Play account back, but I've been unsuccessful so far. I thought Google promised to not be evil? I've got a wife and kids dudes. Quit being lame. I need my account back and now resorting to spamming github to find a kind soul who will help.

Sorry I asked. I should have known a hyper logical, authoritarian Google employee would never understand families and compassion.
