Google search history can be used as evidence but you cannot be charged with googling something. Do you understand the difference?

That's what I said. Typing things into a chat doesn't prove intent. For the same reason google is not monitoring searches and sending them to police. You can type anything you want into a search box. It's never a crime.
Wrong. An attempt to commit a crime is a crime. Planning it is not. I can plan to rob a bank all I want. You would have to prove intent. Typing things in a chat doesn't prove intent.
All of this is so fucking bizarre I can't even wrap my head around it anymore. It's a bot. How the fuck is it suddenly killing people? How is talking to a bot a crime now? Did everyone lose their minds?
I wonder what % of all translations are things like patents, legal paper and movies and what are simple localizations. Even in the more complex cases you can pass the entire text through AI first and then just proof read it and correct the errors.
Come on, they don't care. I will use a custom mod for as long as possible and when this stops working I will switch to two phones setup: de-googled daily driver and second phone for work/car apps. And if I will have to choose between stock Android and iPhone for the second phone I will go with an iPhone.
What will you switch to?
How online banks like Revolut do it? How crypto exchanges do it? How Google's age verification does it? I guess they will do the same.
Should that help people who were unfortunate to install that malware before the dev is banned?
It doesn't say but it would make sense to check the certs periodically and not just on install.
Also how exactly do they hope to identify the dev as already banned if he tries to register again?
What personal data? They will invalidate this dev's cert and ban him from getting a new one.
I would imagine the first thing any custom ROM would do is bypass Google’s app restrictions.
Those restrictions don't apply to custom ROMs. Yes, it's clear Google is trying to kill custom ROMs but I think we still have couple of years. Linux phones are improving fast and I think in 5 years we will end up in the same spot we were with PCs 20 years ago: you will be able do most of daily driving on a Linux phones but some apps just won't be possible to run (Authenticator apps, banking apps, Whats App, Android Auto...). Dual booting will not be possible so most probably I will end up with two phones: daily driver and work/car phone.
