Although the idea sounds righteous, our colleagues have detected that the actual results of the campaign can be illogical. Here is a detailed case study by Freepps.top experts, in which they found that Google banned a player app for streaming pirate content regardless of its total innocence.
According to Google, the Alliance will work towards the safety of the Android Play Store by fighting against malicious apps.
Our number one goal as partners is to ensure the safety of the Google Play Store, quickly finding potentially harmful applications and stopping them from being published.To achieve this goal, Google has partnered with security firms employing high-end technologies, such as machine learning, to detect malicious behavior. Specifically, the Alliance includes these three handpicked partners: Zimperium, ESET, and Lookout.
As part of this Alliance, we are integrating our Google Play Protect detection systems with each partner’s scanning engines.Thus, the partnering firms will proactively analyze and monitor all apps arriving on the Play Store before they go live. This will, in turn, help in preventing such malicious applications to even appear on the Play Store. Consequently, the users will likely remain safe from becoming a prey to such apps.
We believe working together is the ultimate way we will get ahead of bad actors.Certainly, considering the frequency of malicious apps appearing on the Play Store, this comes as a much-needed step from Google.
