This basically makes using VPNs for privacy useless. Now they will have a record of every IP address you ever used. They can also use local laws internationally.

This is horribly bad…


Its Play listing was appropriately marked as “Mature 17+,” which means that children won’t be able to download it if their devices have parental controls. In addition, the developers clearly communicate that the game tackles serious issues. “This game is not suitable for children or those who are easily disturbed” is the first line of the game.
Looks like the developers and publisher did everything right. Play has a ton of games where you kill people. Google’s inconsistency shines again.

Google got rid of thousands of employees in the last 5 years and this asshole gets half a billion dollars…

This is just a guess but with open source operating systems, it can and will probably be bypassed. I’m sure people will make forks without verification.
With closed source, probably not the most updated ones.
