  Of course they're pitching it like everything's above board, but from the article: > While many residential proxy providers state that they source their IP addresses ethically, our analysis shows these claims are often incorrect or overstated. Many of the malicious applications we analyzed in our investigation did not disclose that they enrolled devices into the IPIDEA proxy network. Researchers have previously found uncertified and off-brand Android Open Source Project devices, such as television set top boxes, with hidden residential proxy payloads.

    If popup ads that open the play store are ethical, this is ethical.

    I love how its the "evil" Open Source project devices, and "other app stores" that are the problem, not the 100s of spyware ridden crap that is available for download from the Play store. Would be interesting to know how many copies of the SDK was found and removed from their own platform.
