didn’t i tell you Google is using the #sideloading ban to side-step labor issues? it’s actually worse:

google wants to #aislop and monopolize all #android apps.

so, not only they don't want to deal with developers as contract workers on their appstore ―that’s the whole point of forcing ID, to shoo away the vast majority of developers who aren’t incorporated as businesses. they now want to wipeout said developers and own all the apps.
