... and still no clarity about exit deal, etc.

Theresa May truly is the worst prime minister of UK of all times.

google play:
- doesn't tell you if an app has in-app purchases or ads until you open its page (so when you're scrolling through the overviews it won't say anything, you have to open each individual app to check)
- manages to make massively slow down the entire phone while updating on every phone i've ever used
- provides no incentives for an app to be open source, not even providing a little icon or a place to put a source code link (you have to paste it in the description)
- checks to see if your phone is rooted or has xposed, and if so, refuses to let you install certain apps, such as netflix and google pay
- splits the store across four apps, one each for apps, music, movies, and books
- added a "virus scanner" to the "my apps" page which doesn't actually scan your phone for viruses and just gives you a false sense of security - this feature was already present in google play, now it just had a cute little shield icon. all it means is that none of the apps on your phone have been added to a blacklist, and it's pretty hard to get on that blacklist. it won't scan apps that didn't come from google play: https://www.blog.google/products/android/google-play-protect/
- provides no punishment to apps that compromise the security of the user's phone by exploiting undiscovered bugs: https://www.xda-developers.com/procfs-leak-lg-oneplus-huawei-xiaomi-asus/ (while this isn't a particularly bad example of privacy violating behaviour, it shows that google is willing to let this one slide for seemingly no reason)
- introduced a new, better permissions system where users selectively grant permission to apps, but for some reason (ad revenue) they don't allow you to deny an app internet access
