The irony of google spending so much money on Project Zero to call out other company's security issues while they internally ignore their own.


Project Zero is about making their competitors look bad, not helping the public. There's a reason they went after Fortnite immediately upon announcing they wouldn't distribute through the Google Play Store: Project Zero's job there was protecting Google's 30% revenue cut.

There's nothing ironic when you understand the actual purpose, as opposed to what they claim it's about.


That makes no sense. The users who care about this are so much on the fringe that a single day's churn will probably wash them out.

No one in the real world cares about some random CVE. "REMOTE CODE EXPLOIT!", security experts yell, while the vast majority of people just continue installing Bonzi Buddy 4.0 : The Return of the Bonz.
