THIS IS A LABOR ISSUE

now that Google doesn't have to pretend #android is not the #backdoor #surveillance system Snowden warned us about, it has a problem:

app developers.

the app store was always a honeypot for free #labor. without #apps there is no android. so Google has to rein in app devs, if they don't want their #spyware broken.

but if you give up your encryption keys, the app isn't yours. this isn’t about #privacy.

Google wants app devs to be employees without labor rights.
