    Or Android with Google Play. It already does this BS, even if you disable scanning.

    Lineage/Graphene/DivestOS here I come.

      Yesterday Google play kindly un-installed KDE connect for my “security” as it is a “dangerous app”

      I promptly re-installed from f-Droid.

        But all the Google defenders will say “it was for our own good” or the app dev did something that looked suspicious. 🤦‍♂️

          But, but, now your phone could be hacked!! 🤣

          (yes, sarcasm, lol)

          The Google bootlickers tell me my phone is at risk since it’s rooted. As if every single Linux, Unix, and Windows box doesn’t have root access for specific users. And Windows is so flawed they require a privilege escalation to perform fairly innocuous functions.
