Google is being evil

3 points by couponcoop 14y ago ↗ HN

Google ripped away my family's sole source of income by suddenly and without warning removing everything I've built for Android from Android Market without even saying why they did it.

Please send a quick email to android-market-support@google.com to tell Google what you think of that.

All I want to do is make a living building things that make people happy. Please help.

Details please.

What details would you like?

What were the apps? What did they do?

There's no way I'm writing to Google to complain about something without knowing more about it.

Your apparent reluctance to specify those details in your original post makes your request seem dishonest in some way.

I assume you are afraid of reprisal from Google by not mentioning which application(s) they allegedly removed. When trying to rally support, more evidence is better than less, more detail better than none.

My expectation is that people assume people get what they deserve and/or don't care what happens to other people so long as it's not them or the people they personally know and care about.

This is more about sharing a story of a behavior which I had no idea Google practiced. Will it be ignored? Probably.

Nothing evil about that. It is their app store.
