Google has announced changes to its Play service policy. The changes will affect the position of outdated and unsupported applications, as well as some developer accounts.
According to the corporation, programs and games that have critical vulnerabilities and bugs that have never been corrected will be removed from the store. Also, the accounts of developers that have not been active for more than a year will be deleted.
The application of the new rules is intended to strengthen the security and privacy of user data, as well as to eliminate the possibility of using "abandoned" accounts by hackers and other unscrupulous persons. At the same time, if desired, developers whose accounts will be deleted can open new ones in the future.
Accounts associated with applications with more than 1,000 downloads or transactions within the last three months will not be deleted. It is not yet known when the changes will take effect.
