    This is the worse time to be doing this with so many people that are unemployed or under-employed often turn to coding as a way to make extra income. Its definitely a Monopoly abusing its power.

      You hit the nail on the head. Google now has buts on a hair trigger banning developers for life--I filed a complaint with the FTC, I hope all developers do

    Its all over reddit users being block for bogus reason - can't believe this isnt a bigger story. Google is clearly abusing its power--and we just let it.

      Couldn't agree more. People thought that may happen when Google lost its case against the DOJ, but they got a tap on the wrist. Hopefully independent developers will file FTC complaints and prompt action.

    Google is an oligarch. It needs to be spilt up. To bad when it lost its lawsuit against DOj didn’t do that last year.
