I'm disappointed that Google was fine with Onavo being in the Play Store and it took Facebook (!) itself to actually remove the app.

I would much rather Google allow this and let users decide than the opposite.

It's trivial to install Google-unlisted software, so users can decide either way.

It isn't trivial. I don't think my parents will ever be able to install software that Google doesn't like on their phone.

One should be morally good to enforce morality on others! They all exploit users' privacy with the one powerful weapon called "Settings".
