When it announced developer verification, it said the process would not evaluate the content of an app.

Ok, sure. The ICE Block app Google just pulled from Play Store will not be evaluated.

these apps are slop generating machines. the equivalent of relying on Nextdoor to keep your community safe. I'm waiting for any journalism or research papers to come out proving they didn't just make the situation worse
