App safety update

[smoker919]

I'm very pleased to see CB reviewing apps that have been reported to them as problematic and removing malicious ones from the site. Last week, ALL the apps from the person called Pigley were removed from CB because they were found to be malicious. This is a huge win for app safety and I hope that CB continues to take action like this.

I'm happy to see that none of the apps I use have been removed. But it's great to know they are taking steps to fix this issue.

Tbh those Pigley apps were so "extra" anyway. Someone tips 100 tokens and it spams the chat with 50+ rows of dollar bills. Calm down buddy. That's only five bucks.

If someone was using an app you were running to steal your content or inhibit the actions of users in your room without your knowledge then maybe it would be a good thing for that app to be removed even if it was part of your setup.

It would absolutely be a good thing.

Let me rephrase for clarity: I'm happy to see that I haven't been using any malicious apps.

Because you know...I don't know how to detect if an app is malicious or not. I'm in the dark as far as that's concerned. So I'm happy to see I've made good choices so far. That's all I meant.

I keep a very conservative list of apps I know to be problematic in my CB bio if you need a resource. I've also discussed a few like Room Analytics here. Feel free to reach out to ask about any if you think they might be problematic.

I appreciate it. I will check out your CB bio.

@Vixxen81 I offered them a resource to fill in a knowledge gap they said they had. Why do you find that problematic?

Good news... and that's also thanks to you, because you show who publishes harmful apps.
