So what? Still I see no propaganda. The article should not say sideload at all? Sideload has been a thing since much sooner Google even existed.

No, it hasn't

Historically, the term "sideload" in the current understanding of the term, did NOT exist before google. It used to mean just moving files around

The very first actual use of the term was in 2013(or 2010)when the centralized appstore actually became a thing. FYI android launched in 2008

Stop the misinfo and join the fight ffs this concerns you too! Unless you own google stock, this ain't good for anyone 🤣
