Apple have no such system as far as I can know, and if they do, don't share it with 3rd party developers.

i always found this baffling business logic from Google. i think Google is a strong enough brand that a lot of people would switch to it if it wasn't the default. maybe not everyone would switch but not worth $12 billion a year

so to detect this manually, they'd have to be checking every single app! more likely, they've an automated system that detects new APKs signed with prominent keys.

but the US didn't sentence this guy to prison, it was French courts

say nothing and the media and public move on to the next story.

google's innovation was a wayyy better mousetrap. i remember the first time using it in 1999, those 10 blue links were like a new, far superior version of the internet

i might get blowback for this but I had an Instagram paid service where Indian users were blowing up the free trials and never paying so I just blocked all Indian IPs. more trouble than they're worth

if you get stuck behind the paywall like me

interesting line to put in your YC about
