No, he is referencing Google going after the Chinese company, not the Israel based one. That does not mean there is bias with the commenter at all, just that the companies operate differently and are treated differently. The country of origin is important as Israel based companies are more integrated into the western business world, and tend to at least try to show an effort in keeping spam and other things off their platforms. Now I do agree that they are both bad companies that should not be allowed to operate the way they do. I would say the same thing about the other 1000 scrapers hitting websites everyday as well (including Google).

What they did not comment directly on, is how many apps / games they might have actually removed from the Playstore with the removal of the SDKs, which would be the actual interesting data.

FWIW a couple of years ago I was involved in a court case where there was a subpoena sent to Luminati to figure out whether or not a specific request had originated from their network, lawyers Luminati replied that they do not keep any logs whatsoever as they aren't required to do so under Israeli law.

Hard to imagine any serious anti-abuse efforts by Luminati if they don't monitor what their users are doing, but this is probably a deliberate effort to avoid potential liability arising from knowing what their users are doing.
