Forcibly unpauses ads

The Google Play Music app forcibly unpauses if you pause during an ad. It is reasonable that a music app would require the listener to play back a full ad before moving to the next song, but it is not reasonable that the ad can’t be paused part way through. Unpausing audio and forcing sound out of the user’s speakers is actively hostile against the user and crosses a line that, in my case, resulted in immediate deletion of this app. Nothing about the size of the music library, the quality of playlist curation, etc. factors into consideration for review as long as this practice is in place.
