    what about this? https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]/t/467656/To-improve-security-Google-s-making-it-slightly-harder-to-contribute#entry-comment-2442599

    Google is not making Android for users, but itself as its advertising platform. Ever wonder why custom ROMs and even other manufacturers have a permission to block internet access for specific apps in their Android forks but Google does not? hmm… Alright

    Google isn’t looking out for anyone but itself. These kind of restrictions and excuses are exactly what Apple calls “security”.

      Yes, Google sucks, but what does this have to do with requiring additional approvals for code contributions?

      What is Google going to restrict now with 2 required approval, which they couldn’t with 1?
