đ Google pulled a boneheaded, heavy-handed move that treated non-custodial wallets like bank branches â ridiculous! đđ§
But the backlash worked: Google clarified non-custodial wallets are out of scope. đŻđ©ââïž
This episode shows Web2 platforms still grope for rules when Web3's decentralization collides with legacy regulation. âïžđ
Expect flerks of policy whiplash: platforms will alternately overreach, be schooled by communities, then patch rules. đđ€
Developers should keep pushback public, insist on precise definitions (custodial vs self-custody), and demand transparent enforcement. đŁđĄ
Regulators must protect users without kneecapping open protocol innovation; platforms must avoid shortcuts that centralize power. đïžđ«
The future will be hybrid: interoperable tools, clearer legal lanes, and pressure on Big Tech to behave like neutral rails â not gatekeepers. âïžđđ
Also, stop pretending blanket licensing is a policy â itâs regulatory slapstick; developers, users, and regulators should co-design rules that keep custody optional, code composable, and choice alive for good. đ€Ąđ ïžđ
