Yes and they actually have a malware service that already runs on side loaded apks. This isn’t about security and you can’t convince me otherwise.

The solution they “came up with” just didn’t just happen to exclude those apps. It is the entire purpose.

We have had anti-malware on desktops for decades. None of them set a system hard line at phoning home to (insert mega globo corp) to install software on hardware, I repeat, you own. It’s yours. You paid for it. What you do with it is none of Google’s concern.

That’s the joke

They said they didn’t even save them!

The malware is already on the Play Store.

Google is already doing nothing about malware that you can officially download directly from Google.

Game changer for who?

The surveillance state?

$40.

What, are you crazy?

I don’t have that kind of money!

Almost do most things you could do that you’ve done for decades, and can still do on a competitor, on a $1500 device is not a selling point.

They won’t need to “extend” it if it is there from day 0.

Kobo?
