Meanwhile, not only is Android one of the worst security offenders, but Google Play Protect is literally the worst-in-show on independent metrics for protecting Android devices! Google would've been better off buying McAfee, they're that bad at doing this in-house.

http://AVTEST.org has regularly shown that Play Protect is mostly a joke, and every Google security update claiming otherwise is a blatant lie to the public: https://www.av-test.org/en/antivirus/mobile-devices/ … Everyone else: 4 or 6. Google: 0.

Which is to say, Tavis is a brilliant researcher paid to make Google's competitors look bad, whilst conveniently ignoring that Google's platforms are far, far worse.

I mean, you guys did commission hit pieces on Fortnite on Android the day after they went around Google's Play Store monopoly because it cost Google an estimated $70 million. If you're not aware that's how your bosses do business, you should check.

If you think making software safer for free is some sort of evil conspiracy, then you have paranoia issues. Sorry, but no Blofeld-esque executive summons us and orders us audit software for free as punishment for slights (?!?!). You need to think through your conspiracy theories.

I mean, the Fortnite bug effectively required that someone already have a malicious app installed to exploit (likely from Google's own store). But it got a huge amount of media hype from Google's closest partners in media.

First of all, that's false: privilege escalation vulnerabilities are used as part of an exploit chain, you compromise some low-privilege component then gain privileges. It doesn't require malware.

Second, most vendors publish advisories when vulnerabilities are fixed. It's vital to communicate to users that a security issue has been resolved, that is not malicious: Google publishes advisories about Chrome, and rewards researchers who report bugs. You are being paranoid.

The fact that a huge number of Google's known media partners focused on promoting a vulnerability in Epic's app that was conveniently found by your team after they cut Google out of the deal is an unbelievable happenstance to buy into.

You just make up theories and state them like facts, it's troubling. Let's just leave it there, I hope that your friends and colleagues do not attribute malice to your actions like you do to theirs.
