He’s out of line, but he’s right

:spider man pointing meme with Google, Huawei and Samsung:

Not that I trust Google, but this screams of “no, u!”

I mean, it is malicious if you think about all the permissions it had. Not saying that Huawei isn’t spying on you too.

Does anyone trust what Huawei says?

The same happens to Chinese app stores on Android phones. Just companies trying to throw up obstacles for their competition.

Between this and antivirus software flagging cracked software, I wish security apps would focus on security instead of weaponizing consumer trust.

9to5mac is a super weird source for something like this. I mean, they wear their boas in their name!

Viruses spread themselves, this is more of an infection

Smartphone software most software these days only attempts to prevent unauthorized access to your information. It’s up to the manufacturer to determine who is and isn’t authorized. Calling that behavior malicious or not is moot point because they all do it.
