A reminder thaf Google also offers its own in-app billing system which charges a 30% commission or "service fee" for any payment made for an app or in-app payments or subscriptions.

Google can easy attack apps that zap (like Amethyst) just like how Apple is attacking Damus.

i dont use amethyst through playstore

you can download amethyst straight from github apk

And F-Droid as well.

I am pointing out that Google can be an enemy to Bitcoin, just like how Apple is showing their true colours

yes, but android app downloads are not dependent on google playstore, so imo a non-issue in this context

but good for the ppl that dont know how to use apk downloads tho

Except Android lets us sideload apps from an .APK file.

Apple is just the first shot across the bow.

A test to see what the push back will be....
