Many of us, if not all of us, have installed a free application from the Play Store and suddenly, our terminal has started to show advertising on the lock screen, when we browse, when we make a call ... situations that irritate us when it is very recurrent.
These types of applications demonstrate, once again, that Play Store's automatic review process leaves a lot to be desired and that it should change its policy, a policy that rewards the speed of publishing applications in the Play Store instead of the safety of users, without which Android would not have a 90% market share.
However, from time to time, Google makes a hopeful move in this regard, a movement facing the gallery But if you don't change your review policy, it's like giving an elephant breadcrumbs to feed it: it's useless. The search giant has announced that it has removed "almost 600" applications from the Play Store, also banning them from monetizing ads, for their inappropriate ads.
Specifically, Google says that "Inappropriate" ads are those that are shown to users in "unexpected ways", when the ads appear even though we are not using the device, or if a full screen ad is shown when you try to make a phone call, when unlocking the phone, on the lock screen ...
Google claims that developers always discover new ways to bypass Google bans, but thanks to machine learning, it is increasingly difficult to prevent them from being detected
If we take into account that more than 3 million applications are available in the Play Store, we verify, once again, how this movement is aimed at the public and that Google have no intention of modifying the app review process that distributes through the Play Store
