nother set of fake banking apps has found its way into the official Google Play…
Let me remind you that we also wrote that Brave and DuckDuckGo help users fight Google tracking.
Apparently, this update is aimed at curbing VPN services that collect user data, as well as preventing ad fraud. For example, developers are now required to declare their use of the VPNservice, must encrypt data transmitted from the device to the final VPN endpoint, and must comply with Developer Program Policies, especially those related to ad fraud, permissions, and malware.
The upcoming changes have already alerted application creators. For example, the developers of Blokada, a Swedish maker of ad-blocking VPN apps, fear that the rule change will block from working at least the previous version of their product, as well as other privacy-focused software.
Blokada version 6, which was launched in June, should work just fine as it does filtering in the cloud without violating Google policies, according to Reda Labdaoui, Blokada marketing and sales manager. However, other applications may experience problems. For example, Labdoui gives an example of the DuckDuckGo browser for Android, which creates a local VPN service so that App Tracking Protection blocks trackers from connecting to tracking servers.
The Register journalists contacted the developers of DuckDuckGo and asked how Google’s policy changes would affect the browser. The company said that the changes should not affect the browser, although the DuckDuckGo team is still studying future changes.
Journalists note that another app that could be affected by the rule change is Jumbo for Android, which also uses VPN-related code to block trackers.
