Curious Canid

What we really need is competent government oversight that would prevent this outright as monopolist. There’s no chance of the current US doing that, but it could come from the European Union. That has become the only governmental entity that is still interested in protected individuals from predatory corporations.

Failing that, I’m wondering if we could establish an organization of “designated developers”. People who volunteer to become the contact point for various applications, whether or not they are actually involved in developing them.

The other thing that might eventually help is to sue Google, on a massive scale, every time they leak developer info. The leaks are going to happen. If they become expensive enough it could force change. Of course, that kind of after-the-fact attack is not likely to revive the development efforts that will have already been destroyed.

This triggered me. :-}
