>Is there any indication that Google will obey the laws of the EU when they have no vested interest in the outcome? In this context it isn't EU laws. The upcoming Android change in 2026 will stop anyone installing a non-verified app on their Android devices. This seems to be something Google arrived at "independently". But I would bet the US and EU and whoever else have put pressure on them. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The law would be "don't sign apps unless they follow these regulations". Google has put themselves in the position of being able to enforce these regs, but that doesn't mean they aren't law. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
