Google suspends GMS licenses to all new models for the Turkish market

16 December 2019
Turkey's competition authority ruled that Google should allow users to change the default search engine, which kicked this off.

        There is no fault with Turkey in this relationship. The problem is google. They have to present a choice menu to choose default search engine by users. They are not doing it and in my opinion they are in force by US goverment. They are doing exactly what they say in my opinion. I condemn google. #google is not the boss of the world.

            Boycott the spying evil Google whenever n wherever u can

              Any country or corporation, even an individual, is welcome to create their very own mobile OS. All it takes is to grab a Linux core, customize for whatever hardware you have on hand, write a few million lines of code, and you're set. If lazy people prefer using someone else's creation then I don't have a problem when they are forced to obey rules of whoever created the product. Don't like it? Don't use it. When you complain that Google only wants to sell ads you need to realize that it is their business model. You get your toys for free, yet in return you have to watch the ads and be tracked. Again, if you don't like it then use a different product.

Google was like the liberator and the bringer of freedom, but now it just uses it's dominant position to force a lot of people to use its services.
                  Anyway, never used Google search for more than 8 years now (even on android, my default search is not google), and I really don't miss it. Still using some of the services, but nothing good can come by putting all the eggs in the same basket.

I use duckduckgo for more then 4 years now and i can saftly say is way better the google at giving results and at lacking advertisement. Am pretty sure their are a lot of people who will change if they knew how clean and unbiased duckduckgo is, in front of googoolle

                            This is just another proof that Google has long removed the "no" from their "Do no evil" slogan, they've become one of the most greedy and malevolent companies.

                            I applaud for the decision of the Turkish court, to stand up against Google.

                                that is an evil move, maybe you should ban governments services not users

                                  Once upon a time, Google was a decent company. But as of late, it is one of the most controversial & despicable companies out there. I hate the fact that i have to choose between Android or iOS, two subpar OS from two of the worst companies out there. We certainly need more competition out there. (Currently it's not even a competition, because iOS is limited to Apple products, and Android is practically on every single smartphone that isn't made by Apple).

                                        I believe google playstore should be considered as a utility similar to water and electricity and is not a luxury. They should not be allowed to ban anyone from access
