Google to require developer verification to install and sideload Android apps

I get where you're coming from, but I think you need to understand that the vast majority of people (conservatively maybe >95%) are perfectly fine with using Amazon. If you just start metaphorically punching all of them you won't convince them of anything. I don't think you can really make something socially poisonous that way without a significant group of people, in socially powerful positions, already agreeing with you.

I think you're overestimating how many people think like you on both of these topics (iOS/Android and Amazon).

Not long ago the vast majority of people were also perfectly fine with smoking (and even second hand smoking) and using asbestos.

But sure, what other kind of approach do you suggest that would work better to, say, kick them out of the EU ?
