Interesting comparison between #Google vs #Apple approaches at #DMAWorkshop. They have very different methods of gatekeeping, and #Android has been typically quite a lot more open #iOS. And Google has already added some improvements for other app stores. Google says, "hey, we're already trying to find ways to comply" while Apple seems to stick to its guns: "our way is the only way to trusted app stores."

@eighthave @1br0wn and Google is WAAAAY more insecure, last I knew?

@j2bryson @1br0wn given that #Android exploits are currently selling for more than #iOS exploits, I'd say that's one key piece of evidence pointing to Android as the more secure option https://www.zerodium.com/images/zerodium_prices_mobiles.png

@eighthave @j2bryson @1br0wn shouldn't you compare the cost per client, not total cost? If there is 8 times the Android devices, shouldn't the cost be 8 times higher?

@spikebike @j2bryson @1br0wn That could play an role in the pricing, but I'm guessing it is a pretty small role. These exploits are generally sold priced per-target. The governments using them care about getting access to the target, not all the users of a platform.
