This article is about the founder of AppValley, one of several app stores available for iOS that abuse enterprise signing certificates to work. If your kid had an iPad, they'd be installing pirated games from this, assuming you didn't give them a budget on App Store or something. Then you are right there in the same situation on a platform where supposedly this isn't a problem.
