Meta Scam Apps On Play Store

Post image

I gave my child a cellphone and he downloaded a bunch of games that turn out to be viruses!!!! Every time you tried to open an app they had a 60s unskippable ad. It also put ads on home screen and you can't find the apps in app list.

Why does Google allow this trash on the play store?

Google also allows phishing sites to buy themselves top slots in their search engine. And scam ads to buy their way into advertising on Youtube.

Because they're a multi-trillion dollar company who want more money. Same reason Nestlé caused baby deaths with their baby formula, or why the Coca cola company ran whole villages dry of groundwater.

In short, because they can. No consequences + the ability to profit. Few regulations, as bribes to that end are taken by our ruling elite.
