You americans are strange. Your government makes arbitrary arrests, illegally searches phones, massively de-funds science and health projects, and only a handful of people demonstrate.

Now a company wants the identity of the companies it works with because it distributes their software, and it looks like a massive "scandal". Well at least I am realistic that the "scandal" is only within certain circles.

Google always knew the identity of companies whose software it distributed (via Google Play), now it also want to know the identity of software developers it has nothing to do with. Get your facts straight next time before writing a snarky comment!
