Google backpedals on new Android developer registration rules

Google is backpedaling on its decision to introduce new identity verification rules for all developers, stating that it will also introduce account...

Ah hm "advanced flow" well well let's see.

My users install the apps that I give them not because they have a "high risk tolerance". They are totally clueless tech newbies who have a very low risk tolerance. They install my apps because they personally trust me. These also not "hobbyist" apps. They're professionally developed (by me, the professional) mission critical must-have apps. I wonder how socially inept people at Google are and what their view of people and society is that they believe anyone would trust some faceless multinational corporation over personal relationships that have been painstakingly developed over the years.
