Authors like this love saying that it’s all about installing apps you choose on a device you own and control.

Who could disagree with that?

The problem is it’s often controlling household members sneakily installing creepy things on devices of those they live with and want to control.

I'd like a source for that. News to me if that is common at all. Not to mention there are apps on the playstore / ios store that can be used in a similar way without sideloading.

Is it possible to allow sideloading and keep users safe?
