Google will supposedly remove apps which use Accessibility Services in unintended ways

Google is sending emails to developers warning them that using Android's Accessibility Services for anything other than making apps easier to use for disabled people is not allowed. The company will supposedly remove those apps if developers don't remove the functionality or properly explain why they need it to help the disabled.

Many advanced apps -- including automation apps like Tasker and autofill apps like LastPass -- rely on access to Accessibility Services
