@Epic_Null@infosec.exchange @quasirealsmiths@beige.party @permafriday@indieweb.social @keepandroidopen@techhub.social @pluralistic@mamot.fr Google is not a singular person. Some people will make bad decisions, some good. The main driver for Google is money. They are doing this to look like they care about grandpas being scammed to look more trustworthy and get more money. If they didn't ban installing outside the store outright, it means there is no reason for them to do it. You slippery slope fallacy can be used against any law, because any law can be a first step to full autocratic government. You need a solid facts to make that argument. This is not the case in this matter, because they can just block those apps like Apple does. To answer your question more directly: No corporation is trustworthy.
