Also, in regards to the interest not being factored, if they implement a check the limits for what is being checked could be interest (number of installs or active uses) based. An app doesn’t show anything after 1 second? If there are 500.000 users it’s probably fine, but if there are 10? It’s way less likely to be a false positive, and way less impactful if it is a false positive.

Did you miss the “most” keyword? Also, what is their definition of a “text-only” app? What devices are they using for the “don’t install or load” check? When is something called “unresponsive”?

There are so many ways to trigger false positives on any check google introduces. Their way of handling developers who don’t understand why they have their app pulled is by giving a blanket “violates the rules” remark.

I imagine SD card reliant apps, apps where a server is down, apps with specific time based information in text on start, apps calculating a lot of data etc. all potential victims.

Recheck the comment please, they didn’t mention any gender other than “girl”. You filled in the other gender.

You assume a cis relationship?!

If this becomes precedent and enforced the whole Irish tax dodging method becomes moot, puting Ireland on par with other EU nations. If this is a high enough fine it will have long term ramifications.

The main issue to me is, big companies will find the next best thing and continue with unethical accounting, outside of the EU.
