- blhack 13y agoWhat?
- sliverstorm 13y agoHe's probably talking about Android.
- dlitz 13y agoIt's basically true, though. Google install arbitrary Android apps on nearly any Android phone without user interaction. Source: If you log in to https://play.google.com https://play.google.com from a desktop computer, you can install apps on your phone. You get the permissions dialog on the website (on your desktop computer), not on your phone.
- Mindless2112 13y agoAlso, if you have the Google Play Store then you have Google Play Services which auto-updates without user interaction or notification and has almost unrestricted access to the device.
- nevi-me 13y agoWell, good thing that we have Android Police and their teardowns acting as a control, that way they'll spot something when Google pushes an NSA trojan to Play Services. /s?
- Oletros 13y ago> Google install arbitrary Android apps on nearly any Android phone without user interaction. How they install them?
- Oletros 13y agoI like that, downvotes but not a single explanation about how the hell google can install arbitrary programs without user interaction.
