#PlayProtect

#Google funds this #EU think tank to put out policy papers saying #DigitalMarketsAct will break their lovely #PlayProtect scare screens, making us all less safe and "it require[s] Google to allow developers to insert links inside their Play Store apps".

As I've always said in relation to the #DMA, let @fdroidorg compete on trustworthiness. I'd love to see this think thank include analysis malware rates of #CalyxOS with #FDroid and compare that to #GooglePlay #security

Rather than just scanning apps for malicious code when you download them, Android's Google Play Protect will keep looking for signs of suspicious app behavior even after they’re on your phone.

I disabled #PlayProtect two weeks ago.

Is there a way to keep this "feature" off without uninstalling the #PlayStore?

I installed #MercuryGram and it just made me mad.

Fundamentally, Telegram is aesthetically a nice app, but in trying to make people buy premium, it doesn't have Monet any more and let's be honest, #MaterialYou is the best thing about modern #MaterialDesign and because #Signal sucks so bad, it becomes normal just to lower your standards and before you know it, things that were homogenous, are no longer so. Anyway, MercuryGram made Telegram feel premium again with their Monet theme. Shout-out to them. Oddly though, #PlayProtect hates it.

#google just removed an app from my #android phone, which I manually installed more than a year ago. #playprotect is NOT active, because i've read about app removals by playprotect. Seems to happen, even if playprotect is not active. 🤔

Google and Apple provide data about the malware they catch in their app store review processes. Both of them talk about "sideloading" as a security risk. Notably, neither Apple nor Google provide data on how much malware comes from outside of their app stores. Nor do they provide data-based analysis of which is the bigger threat: malware that makes it into their app stores or from other channels. They have this data, they track installs and active apps plus there is #PlayProtect #XProtect etc 2/

Nicht so geil. Automatisierte Löschung geht gar nicht. Da #Google das nicht abschaltbar macht, bleibt nur die Komplettdeaktivierung von #PlayProtect: ✔️

🌗 PlayProtect卸載了KDEConnect的F-Droid版本-求助-KDE討論
➤ F-Droid版本的KDEConnect被卸載
✤ discuss.kde.org/t/f-droid-vers
PlayProtect卸載了F-Droid商店中的KDEConnect版本，並認為它是Google Play上版本的假冒品。
+ 這是一個非常令人困擾的問題，因為F-Droid商店是一個很好的開源軟件平臺，我們希望Google能夠解決這個問題。
+ 這是一個很好的提醒，讓我們知道我們需要保持警惕，以確保我們下載的應用程序是真實的。

WTF Google Play?
You're drunk, #PlayProtect. Go home!

"Harmful app removed. #KDEConnect. The app is fake. It can steal your personal data, such as banking info and passwords."

@kde ftw
#DeleteGoogle #KDE

Screenshot of a message from Google's Play Protect app reading: Harmful app removed. KDE Connect. The app is fake. It can steal your personal data, such as banking info and passwords.

Dieser #playstore macht mich wahnsinnig. Jeden Tag die selben Mitteilungen wegklicken. Speicherplatz kaufen, #PlayPoints aktivieren und #playprotect einschalten.

Und jetzt kommt mir die Drecksau mi sowas
