I blame Google and Android and its Play Store. So many apps ask for ridiculous access to everything, they should really discourage this. There should be a big red flag on any apps that ask for "superuser" access to my phone.
After getting a "smartphone" I've had 50x more spam calls. I never had this problem pre-Android. Coincidentally, spam peaks when I'm using my phone, which makes me wonder if these apps are telling spammers I'm near the phone.
- smirksirlot 14y agoYou're blaming the Play Store for something that the app developers decided to do? Just because there's a hole doesn't mean it should be abused, particularly since Path is supposed to be from a "legit" company.
- pjbrunet 14y agoYes I am. If there's a hole in IE allowing a virus to proliferate, don't we blame IE and get a security patch or switch to another browser? How is this any different? The root of the problem is Android and the Play Store.
