    I hope they push this out and spark the ire of the EU

    probably will take a bit longer because it will happen in certain countries like Indonesia and Brazil first (i.e. not EU countries)–basically the countries with rampant apk scamming, unfortunately. I think this move is also partially forced by the government in those countries, but that’s just my conspiracy hat talking, note that I’m also against this move and much prefer a scam education (I’m in Indonesia).

        Some people aren’t tech savvy, so let me start by saying that you should lower your expectations lol

        The scam is basically scammer sending an .apk file saying that it’s important file like invitation, important letter, tax letter, bank statement, etc. and that the victim has to install the app to proceed

        The app then basically become a keylogger that steals passwords and PINs, or other kind of malicious act
