I've been thinking about using a lawsuit to force Google to separate Android and Google+. I personally do not use - and will never use - any "social networking" site like Facebook or Google+. When I decided to adopt Android, Google+ was not integrated into Android. When I refused to to use Google+, I was not allowed to use many features in the Play store and apps. Basically, Google is forcing Android users to adopt Google+ so Google can compete with Facebook, and penalizes Android users who refuse to adopt Google+ (which I do.) If I had known Google+ would be integrated into Android, I would have never adopted Android. I definitely feel that I have been baited and switched by Google.
Then Google pulled a bait-and-switch in order to compete with Facebook, by . IMO, that tactics is no different from what Microsoft did Internet Explorer back in the early 2000s: Microsoft merged Internet Explorer with Windows. Microsoft was ultimately brought to courts in the US and EU, and was ordered by the US and EU courts to separate IE from Windows. Why hasn't Google suffered the same fate when it has been doing exactly what Microsoft did?
Anyway. I am seriously thinking about it. I've never sued anyone or any company before. I'm wondering on how I can proceed, and if anyone wants to join me.
