  • All Google would have to do is check what key an app is using on a user’s device and they can invalidate it. Someone made a youtube vanced 2 (not revanced)? Google can easily invalidate it for everyone using this process.

    Even if I misunderstand how the key works and it’s more of a signature, it would mean that if you try to download an older app then it could fail bc the signature expired and isn’t maintained anymore. You also run into the same issue with not being renewed if Google chooses.

    My point is it could effectively be a side loading killer, maybe not right away but the point of sideloading is the independence which this takes away

    The fact that several species in Australia are now extinct kinda shows cats do harm bird populations. Cats are usually an invasive species and hundreds of them in an area can decimate local wildlife. Overcrowding only kill birds when there are too many, while cats will always kill birds. There are definitely places where it matters more, like on small islands, but in general any invasive species can massively shift ecosystems.
