Also, EU is pushing towards more "open" app-stores through anti-trust.

Not that it requires Google to "open up" their play-store, but that they must allow other app-stores to work on the same level. So basically allowing devs and users to move elsewhere.

Well, i emailed the DMA team at the European Commission, they don't plan to do anything to Keep Android Open.

Apple moved first with making a special 'sideloading' case for apps not under their control, Google is just copying what they did.

No more free sideloading.
