How do these theoretical scammers get you to download a fake app from outside a store, by the way? By making you go to a website first to get it? Seems like they could just have you open a fake website at that point, which would be much much easier to do.

@zsmb13@androiddev.social and the website is very often reached through a scammer using scam ads served by Google Ads. Lmao.

@zsmb13@androiddev.social And a lot of usecases people say, about this thing protecting from literal spyware/stalkerware, are assuming that it is not google-certified already, and that it cannot get certified either because ones who made it are affiliated with governments google must abide law of, or with by paying google under a different identity every once in a while and hiding app functionality better.
