Google ‘blocks Huawei from using apps on phones’

[Polarbear]

It seems Google have blocked Huawei's licence for Android.

I wouldn't have thought this would be anything but a disaster for the Chinese firm as there really is only Android and Apple operating systems now.

Oh silly me, I forgot they will just copy it anyway.

When has china China ever worried about a little thing called copyright.

Clearly, the use of Android by non-US firms is a two-edged sword. Google are reacting to the US government's adding of Huawei to a list of companies that American firms cannot trade with unless they have a licence. Whether Google will apply for and gain a licence is anyone's guess. It's a bit too early to know what the upshot of all this will be. One thing is that Whoarewe have been working on their own O/S for a while now; there are further implications there.

That's not the end of the shitstorm, though. Intel and Qualcomm say they will no longer supply chips for Huawei.

It's Trump standing up to China China China in a trade war.

To be fair, the Chinese are pretty dirty to others when it comes to trade, look at all the knock off motors out there for one. It's about time someone with some clout stood up to them on trade.

It occurred to me that this is probably just google demonstrating to Trump the inintended consequences of his actions.

Maybe I'm overthinking it?

Next step is microsoft for the Laptops.

Wonder how long before someone sues Google then if their phone gets hacked due to the delayed security update.....


The most scary thing is US companies have more back doors that any other country when it comes to IT. Yet no one complains about them and their monitoring of what we are doing.

So if you already had a wahwee would your google play cease to function?
Play store seems to know which devices you have and are suitable for whatever app.

I have again always been of the oppinion that if you build a backdoor into a piece of tech, it's very nearly impossible to completely hide it. I presume the boffins at GCHQ realised long ago that doors work both ways and as such, pretend they haven't noticed.
