@ilumium @GrapheneOS @article19 When I asked #Google a follow-up question using Google's own terminology, like #PlayIntegrity #GMS etc. their team of three competition lawyers brushed it aside saying they didn't understand the acronyms. They did not let me clarify. This is a classic example of the Google lawyers being conveniently #ignorant of the key details of things the Google Play team does that nicely props up their monopoly.
