Can you back that up with an example, perhaps the Android Play Store? Is there significantly more malware on recent (last ~5 years) versions of Android than similarly recent versions of iOS?
- paulmd 3y agoGoogle play store also uses human review. The question is whether there’s more malware on stores like f-droid, and the answer is yes, there is of course significantly more malware. This even pollutes the official Play Store to some extent because of course google can’t put the foot down too hard when Facebook et al can simply “start their own app stores” to bypass review if they really want to. Malware rates are much higher on android in general. https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2020/09/joker-the-malware-that-signs-you-up-for-pricey-services-floods-android-markets/ https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2020/09/joker...
