- zachey_01 10mo agoThis is the worse time to be doing this with so many people that are unemployed or under-employed often turn to coding as a way to make extra income. Its definitely a Monopoly abusing its power.
- markatlarge 10mo agoYou hit the nail on the head. Google now has buts on a hair trigger banning developers for life--I filed a complaint with the FTC, I hope all developers do
- zachey_01 10mo agoI’m not a developer but signed your change.org petition. Cant believe there are only 10 signature. there should be millions! These Oligarchs have us under their thumb — get moving people https://c.org/b8sLJX89Qq https://c.org/b8sLJX89Qq

- crunch1126 10mo agoGoogle is an oligarch. It needs to be spilt up. To bad when it lost its lawsuit against DOj didn’t do that last year.
- poki_dot 10mo agoIts all over reddit users being block for bogus reason - can't believe this isnt a bigger story. Google is clearly abusing its power--and we just let it.
- markatlarge 10mo agoJust saw a post today, person entered banking credentials incorrectly instead -- blocked account
- zip_01 10mo agoGoogle needs to be broken up plain and simple - I just singed your petition!
- markatlarge 10mo agoCouldn't agree more. People thought that may happen when Google lost its case against the DOJ, but they got a tap on the wrist. Hopefully independent developers will file FTC complaints and prompt action.
