I think without said "security" model, we wouldn't have so much malware.
Because getting your exact location extracted and send to marketing firms and government contractors is worse than quite a few trojans you could get on your local computer by executing random and even malicious code.
It is time that security experts get honest about this and that "experts" lower their voice a bit.
- shuntress 6y agoAre the experts experts or are the experts "experts"? In my experience, security expert generally are honest about this and should, if anything, raise their voices more.
- raxxorrax 6y agoA lot of "experts" are marketeers or work in the industry and have financial ambitions. There is a technically correct argument that a locked down environment hinders the execution of malicious code, but for overall security, especially privacy and illegal data access, the current "security" solutions for smartphones perform very badly.
