This, BTW, is IMHO why recent Android versions refuse to use self-installed certificates for all traffic: to prevent you from knowing what apps are sending back home. It's not in Google's interest for you to control your phone and know what it's doing.
- jarito 8y agoOr it could be the reason they've said they did it - this was a primary vector for malware authors to compromise user's information and devices. Not everything is a conspiracy.
- brokenmachine 8y agoThen why not offer a confirmation box to add certificates, and let the user decide?
- xnzakg 8y agoProbably because users will just follow instructions they found on some sketchy website without actually reading the text in the confirmation box.
- brokenmachine 8y agoThen a confirmation box saying, "only do this if you know what you're doing - it can have dire security consequences". Just because some people are idiots who don't read what's in front of them, doesn't mean others should be impacted. We all know the real reason it's not an option.
