Google Bans Sale of Android Spying App

Posted by samzenpus on from the what-are-you-writing-there dept.

dbune writes "Google is not letting a handset application that spies on someone's text messages be sold at its Android App Store. The Secret SMS Replicator developed by DLP Mobile to help lovers find out if their partners are cheating on them violates company policy, according to Google. The app works by secretly duplicating incoming text messages and forwarding these to another mobile phone number."

    This app is obviously malware, so Google removed it. Why is this news?

    Yeah it happens. What's your point? That Google is supposed to stop you from trusting people?
