馃摚 Hey, #Google "disable" Google apps is not "uninstalling" them. You can't dodge the EU鈥檚 #DMA rules by redefining language.

馃憦 Thanks to @fsfe and allies, a complaint has been filed to stop this abuse and protect user freedom.

@Tutanota @fsfe Uh we should've guessed when Google marketed don't be evil... What they meant & missing from it was "Don't be evil, become the evil". Regardless it was funny how many "smart" people (calling their own company's slogans silly & unworkable) just believed a corporate slogan from another cus they were the new "cool" kid in town.

@Tutanota @fsfe So if I understand correctly, Google was forced to do it too? I remember when Apple had to do it, and I thought back then that it's a much bigger issue in the Android ecosystem. Anyway, good decision! ablobcool

@Tutanota @fsfe My guess is in a decade or two, most ppl won't even remember these tech giants we have today.
Their lifespan is not designed to last a human life. Their goals are set to gain as much profit in short time and always in the range of bordering on the lawless and unethical - like they are doing now.
Enterprises like that won't become dynasties that last generations.

@Tutanota @fsfe "Don't be evil. Be insidious."
The end of their slogan always gets cut off.

@Tutanota @fsfe This has always been my pet peeve with Android. Apps part of the OS install can't be removed, only disabled - even though they are just apps.

@Tutanota @fsfe I've tried Uninstaller Google packages from my phone (samsung ) (just Google apps like maps and youtube) some apps are indeed integrated with the operating system and this is so much stupid I can't even describe my frustration 馃槕
