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.
- oefrha 4y agoIf 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?

- pdntspa 4y agoInteresting... 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?
- bobkazamakis 4y agoare you asking what laws criminals are following?
- pdntspa 4y agoNo, I just thought the chinese government regulated internet hosting very closely. Or implying that it is also complicit in these schemes.
- toast0 4y agoMight be easier to get Chinese hosting if the traffic doesn't go to China?
