Adblock Plus for Android removed from Google Play store
[Quote]:
In a rather surprising move, Google removed Adblock Plus and other ad blocking apps from the Google Play store due to “interference with another service or product in an unauthorized manner.”

More impetus to have an open source mobile OS. Google is just another money grubbing greedy corporation that hides behind their “do no evil” slogan while screwing you royally. Sort of like catholic church come to think of it.
@Mykolas: It was (I think) “Don’t be evil” which is different from “Do no evil”.
@SueW – Indeed you are correct! http://investor.google.com/corporate/code-of-conduct.html
But “Don’t be evil” is much more than that. Yes, it’s about providing our users unbiased access to information, focusing on their needs and giving them the best products and services that we can. But it’s also about doing the right thing more generally – following the law, acting honorably and treating each other with respect. ….The Google Code of Conduct is one of the ways we put “Don’t be evil” into practice. It’s built around the recognition that everything we do in connection with our work at Google will be, and should be, measured against the highest possible standards of ethical business conduct. ”
Comment “Ethical Standard” And amorphous concept that affords Google the loopholes needed to abuse its users
