Apple removed ICEBlock reportedly after direct pressure from Department of Justice officials. “I am incredibly disappointed by Apple's actions today. Capitulating to an authoritarian regime is never the right move,” the developer said.

      The state of having complete legal control of something;

      Ownership is the state or fact of legal possession and control over property,

      the act of having and controlling property

      Control is a key part of ownership. If Google controls what you can install on a device, it isn’t yours.

        Nah, you control your google powered phone as in you can decide to sell it, throw it away, repair it, etc. You don’t get ownership of the software that it runs though, or what that updates Google send your way. You can certainly choose not to update it, but you just miss out on anything that requires those updates - like access to the Google play services.

          You’re licking those corporate boots awfully hard for someone calling themselves Freedom advocate.

          You can certainly choose not to update it, but you just miss out on anything that requires those updates - like access to the Google play services.

          And that will do wonders for the security that Google claims is the reason behind this change, won’t it.
