Reporting Google to the Competition & Markets Authority (UK): Android Developer Verification - Lemmy.World

Dan is a UK based full stack web developer who is working on Bookstack, a self-hostable wiki platform (MIT license). On Google’s recent announcement about developer verification he writes: > This is a massive leap in control, further centralising approval power to Google across the entire Android ecosystem while cementing themselves as the ultimate gatekeeper of what users can run on their own devices, all under the guise of security. This is a further step away from an open ecosystem, while being harmful to any platform competition & innovation. > …as a UK resident I feel my best bet to counter this is via the Competition & Markets Authority (CMA). He includes his report as a basis for others to use perhaps.
