  • 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 NOT that (sneaky, evil, in disclosing) dev told me. Another dev of a different app did.

    So the difference is, you were pre-asked and had the option to refuse.





  • Ah, yeah DDG uses the google Being browser engines.

    From your screenshot, you had the choice to reject. I don’t know what Chinese law is about stuff like that, so I’m not going to speak on it, other than to say that firstly, I imagine it’s the Chinese version of tiktok, and secondly, almost every popular social US social media, not to mention website do it, including banking sites. I don’t like it, and I’m not saying it’s a legitimate way of doing business, but it’s certainly not any different than US websites.
