That's absurd.

No more absurd than letting a megacorp control what I install on my own device.

		Instead the megacorp forces open source licensing, which doesn't solve any of this shit anyway lol

It's also true, the best way to audit software is source-code and behavior analysis. Google and Apple do surprisingly minimal amounts of auditing of the software they allow on the Play Store and App Store, mostly because they can't, by design. It should shock absolutely nobody then that those distribution methods are much more at risk of malware.

		No one is auditing. Behavior analysis works on closed source software too.
