It’s interesting how popular Google products remain, considering their well-earned reputation of Never Giving A Shit

  "these apps are all running from China" I'm curious about this. Can you please tell us more?

    The servers for these apps are in China, but the owners are in other countries, Mexico, India, China etc. So it is hard for police to get a warrant to shut down servers when crossborder issues are involved. I am not an expert in such crimes, but they make it hard for local police to shut them down.

      If the government can ban TikTok and a bunch of other popular apps overnight, surely it’s not hard to get scam apps removed from Google Play if they cared at all?

        Wasn't the TikTok ban only effective because ByteDance didn't try to evade it?

      Interesting... I was under the impression that it was hard to get hosting in China unless you have a chinese company with the CCP's blessing So do they let foreigners set up hosting accounts in China then?

        are you asking what laws criminals are following?
        • pdntspa 4y ago
          No, I just thought the chinese government regulated internet hosting very closely. Or implying that it is also complicit in these schemes.

        Might be easier to get Chinese hosting if the traffic doesn't go to China?
