    Default Google removes 103 Android apps from Playstore with 69 Million installs

    Apps come and go
    But it seems this was a syndicate ring set out to clone apps and make money

    Glossy Media:

    Nerd Media:

    We have always suspected it. I wonder how many other Apps have hidden script in them?

    Many other Apps and App Developers have been removed in the passed also:


    Makes you wonder what those Sideloaded Apps may have in them?
    Well, generally its just annoying ads, but what else?

    There's a new corana virus app that concerns me. Once installed they could do an update so it could do all sorts of tracking and reporting! :O

    If there really was an issue then after 69 million installs someone or maybe sometwo would have started yelping.
    If Australia is a democracy why, then, is voting compulsory?

    Besides, most people are apathetic and lack initiative.
