Good. When private companies see that something they are doing or enabling could lead to preventable human death, they have a responsibility to act on it.

If an app in their marketplace is helping spread misinformation about a public health crisis, that app can and should be removed from Google's marketplace.

America is a capitalist society. If you're going to do business in Google's ecosystem, you have to follow Google's rules. Google isn't tolerating COVID-19 misinformation, so if you're an app publisher in Google's ecosystem, you should adopt a similar stance.

Human life is on the line here. Google is doing the right thing.
