                  Ahaha if it's trusted by Google, better not use it.

                    VPN's ain't safe but don't install the one Google verifies and if you already have, uninstall it

                      App or web site all are backtracked and litterary spy on you somehow.
                      On everythig starting from a Nokia or HMD feature phone up to tablets, PCs, Xbos, Nintento, TV with android, IOS phone or TV harmony powered device etc. you have sign up and agree with some terms of use and licenses and for the first moment you agree they got you and you have zero clue which information and where it is going. Whether is a feature or dumb phone or a premium piece made by Caviar company you still have to follow and agree some rules othervise you have nothing but a dead weight for use when writting paper or a doorstop thing.

                              This doesn't verify the VPN itself in any way. It's just certifying that no security vulnerabilities were found in the client app. This is like if FTX sent an armored car to collect my cash so they could "safely" invest it. You still need to do your own due diligence.

                                That's a good step forward because the flood of questionable VPN's is pretty huge on GooglePlay. However, is this MASA certification thorough enough to ensure VPN in question is ensuring that user data routed through VPN will not be abused in any way.

                                  Just get blokada from google. Its free and no ads and disables ads everywhere. Dont get google play version (Blokada 6)

                                    it's not like that they'll charge these devs/companies to verify the app... like twitter, insta & fb.

                                      Most people buy chinese phone because it uses Android and has Google service. Thats the truth. Most people avoid buying chinese phone without google service like huawei.

                                        Aka has ads, has you pay for extra stuff. And so on. Thats what the google version of Blokada is. (Blokada 6) i got the free version and brings everything.
