You’re still trying to muddy the waters here. Stop talking and start listening, please.

I am not making any claims about anything being better or worse. I’m laying out possible issues and the fact that this is an additional risk which may or may not be worth it.

All I’m doing is laying out the facts and letting people judge for themselves. Ik you like the product, but why are you trying to ride for them so hard? Why are you being so defensive over my relaying of information and warning others?

I’ll play ball.

First off, no Chinese app should be trusted at this point purely based off of chinas APT groups and corporate espionage. So, yes, fuck Temu too.

Second off, you’re zooming out to hide the facts of the details. Free games and emulator apps are statistically higher than baseline to either contain malware or will contain malware in the future (whether or not that’s because they got hacked or if the devs were always hackers - it does not matter. The fact remains it’s more risky)

Being able to go through the code is fine until you recognize that sometimes code accesses other code elsewhere that is not open source. Which means you don’t get to account for that when considering if the product is safe AND secure code.

I’m not going to keep arguing with you over this, it was a simple heads up about the statistical likelihood of such an app (which already is fucking bypassing apples secure store to get and requires a PC) being a threat to its users at some point or another. End of story
