A 24hr waiting period to use a competitor's product has to be one of the most blatant anti-competitive behaviour in history.

I‘m curious I read the petition and didn‘t see mention of „24h waiting“ anywhere could you tell me what you‘re referring to?

The 24h wait period is a part of the so-called "advanced flow" which will become the only way to install apps not verified by google once their new rules go into effect, as described here: https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2026/03/android-developer-verification.html

Welcome to McDonald's credit! You'll have to wait 24hrs if you want to eat that Whopper you want to buy!

What competitor?

If only the founding fathers had written the right to bear apps shall not be infringed in an amendment.

Oh well can't change the ancient text now, just have to be governed by it forever. 🤷 (It's a shame the ancient powder-wigged wizards that wrote the constitution weren't clairvoyant.)

I am not from the US but can't you interpret the first amendment in a way that would work here?

Code is just information and you could argue that a platform is infringing on private free speech.

i am American, and yes we have a long history of interpretation that is expansive. the problem is we have narrow minded people running the institutions now who don't even want the narrow interpretations to be in effect so they do everything possible to limit them.

if you pay attention long enough you will see them use one argument to get their way, then later use the opposite to get their way on a different issue. there is no moral consistency because morality is just s tool to them.

That’s it gents! Wax up those mustaches, load the cannon with grape, storm the White House! We’ll give those bastards a day of reckoning that won’t soon be forgot.

Also kilts and face paint 🤣

If only there were some way to change the ancient text. Some sort of amend-sion. Surely our benevolent leaders would have figured something like that out by now. I guess we'll just have to keep voting and hoping every four years

[–] Harmonics041@feddit.uk 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Or just call a constitutional convention and write a new one.

[–] thespcicifcocean@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

That surely won't backfire spectacularly.

We've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas
