I’m very happy my 12y old kid can’t just sideload shit nilly willy. He legit Googles minecraft hacks and downloads random apks and stuff if he gets the chance)
(his phone is also fully locked down with parental because a 12y old should have free reign on the internet, but that’s beside the point)
honestly i think letting kids experiment on their own devices and get them full of malware is a good thing. its the perfect time to learn since a kid doesnt have any money to steal anyway, and the parent can just come in and factory reset the device if needed. Too much protecton means people never learn how to be responsible without it.
Oh yeah, I don’t have an issue with them ruining their devices. I just have them locked down because I don’t want them to have free use on the internet. So much mindrot on there…
Scammers make old people install malicious app designed to steal user data and obviously much more. It’s a trick as old as the Internet itself but it’s much more devastating when literally almost every aspect of your life is at stake.
If you don’t know what you are doing why would you be side loading? It seems pretty easy to avoid
