@SylvieLorxu OFC it is.

All #GAFAMs follow the #PeterThiel - #Philosophy of working towards #Monopolization.

• #Google can't prevent #3rdPartyAppStores nor legally ban @fdroidorg in particular but they can make using #Fdroid and #AuroraStore and "#Sideloading" as painful and inconvenient as possible, like #Apple does for #iOS and #macOS!

It is not and never was about #malware, because if it was Google would've to kick itself and it's fellow #GAFAM out of #GooglePlay for uploading malicious #InfoStealer|s that nonconsensually collects contact details of 3rd parties without having obtained prior written consent nor letting users know they need to obtain prior written consent from their contacts beforehand!

• #NotLegalAdvice but just because noone has successfully sued someone for submitting their details into Google Contacts doesn't mean this ain't a "#LegalLandmine" that @noybeu et. al. are eager to see someone to step on. And I'm not gonna be that one who's gonna #FuckAroundAndFindOut!
