- Popular Apps In Google's Play Store Are Abusing Permissions And Committing Ad Fraud - A lot of Chinese companies are using these apps for surveillance, we need much better tools on these iOS and Androind devices to see exactly what data each app is sending and to where - Basic request analytics and firewall tools - We need to be able to easily turn off all outbound connections system wide and only allow connections that we have reviewed and approved
