  He's probably talking about Android.

    It'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.

      Also, 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.

        Well, 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?

      > Google install arbitrary Android apps on nearly any Android phone without user interaction. How they install them?

        I like that, downvotes but not a single explanation about how the hell google can install arbitrary programs without user interaction.
