I've never heard a better rationale for not using Apple products or a "Googled" Android device[0]. That it's even possible for Apple/Google Play to do something like that (although I'm not so sure they'd do so -- and I'm not so sure they could be forced to either -- but IANAL) is horrific overreach and def…
