Google Play very much is a large threat vector. And I see it no differently than the photo you showed. At least on f-droid, the code for apps is examinable, where even if one isn’t a programmer/hobbiest, they have the option of asking someone they trust to audit the code. On Google Play, you get the developer’s “lol trust me, bro!”
As an example, one app consistently has hundreds of tracking attempts by a notorious, very intrusive website, and I’m extremely grateful I can see that and block it; and uninstall the app because NOT Google and NOTthat (sneaky, evil, in disclosing) dev told me. Another dev of a different appdid.
So the difference is, you were pre-asked and had the option to refuse.
No, it’s that nobody was talking about the google play store, and while I’m certain you’re trying to disagree with me you’re making very salient points in my favor about the dangers of unverified closed-source apps.
You seem to understand exactly that what that site is doing is dangerous and broad strokes on why, but you’re using that to… excuse their behavior.
But you… then explicitly go on to explain how it’s different from US websites. Like you understand this, so I’m not sure why we’re disagreeing here. It’s fundamentally different, you even explain how it’s different, we’re not… disagreeing here.
I kind of figured you wouldn’t, based on prior interchanges, but tried anyway. No worries, enjoy your day/night.
It’s disappointing you seem to only remember the time you were abusive and proved wrong in your accusations, but not the multiple extremely civil/pleasant interactions we’ve had since then.
Don’t regress these interactions and start being a dick for no reason. Seriously, this has been plenty civil until you started to get defensive about your unfamiliarity with the topic.
You very clearly explained exactly whats wrong with that site’s (and other sites) behavior, but pivoted to that somehow excusing what they did.
For a third time
I dunno why you keep posting that, it clearly doesn’t mean much to me beyond, uncharitably, showing that you’re still holding a grudge? But I like to think I’m not so petty as to hang on to that.

This isn’t a DB0 community - and even if it was, this wouldn’t be a valid use of the disengage rule. see: “For a disengage call to be valid, it must not be accompanied by other arguments on the existing topic. A disengage is not meant to be a trump card to have the last word.”

You are extremely disingenuous. We see it differently.
