      You mean we shouldn’t blindly trust random, almost entirely anonymous, users giving out executables to be run on the very same devices we do banking and important life paperwork on? Say it ain’t so!

        The only thing play protect has done “for” me lately was remove file access to Poweramp the day after I got it. Fuck Play Protect.

            Perhaps, he had that when Poweramp still had that permission. The app itself says Google removed that permission for play edition apps.
