For most users, the vast majority of free apps are ad-laden and (for many therein) functionally crippled versions of better, paid applications.

I would have a system in place to render their oil useless at a moment's notice. Seems a lot more attainable than a nuke.

Quickly becoming a far naughtier version if the aristocrats for the cognitively impaired.
