      Why have bad apps at all?! Is it impossible to weed out about half ur inventory based on simple network security guidelines pretty standard to businesses who actually place a priority on ur datas security is my thinking but maybe it is THAT impossible in terms of quantity found on there these days but j wouldn't think it's that bad .... maybe it is but does Google actually try n weed out bad apps or is there even a strict process now is my question cuz I've just never heard of anything around that,?;

        Years ago you had a blue tick right next to the developer name so you could know if it was a trusted developer.

                              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.
