Google have declared Droidscript is malware

i disagree about unsustainability. there are real people on the other side of the business among these bots and spammers and if you ignore them because they might be bots and spammers, they'll leave and tell other real people that google can't be reasoned with because they assume everyone is a bot and a spammer.

you see exactly this happening all the time here on HN. the sentiment for the past few years is abysmal. google is actively blowing up their power user/developer customer base. looks like a metric somewhere got optimized a bit too well.

I think so as well. As a duopoly Google and Apple owe it to their customers and 3rd party developers to know why something gets banned. Being in that position requires special consideration to hold that much power. Government has to do it, why don't huge corps?
