Centralized their efforts at our expense. They work for their shareholders.

Buy shares. Become a shareholder.
These are public entities.
I remember that 99/100 users didn’t think before installing a free screensaver and got hit with some kind of malware.
While I disagree with how centralized this practice is I’m applauding that an effort is being made to keep malware off consumer devices.
What we need is a decentralized and self policing ecosystem. A Wikipedia of validation.
Something that’s truly monumenta to pull together.
I understand why so many vendors have centralized their efforts.
