@foss In reference to this post- https://lemmy.ml/post/6374732

For Molly, I kept seeing this popup by Google when downloading Molly FOSS from fdroid.

Should I be concerned? What should I do to ensure I am downloading Molly from a trusted source if Fdroid isn't an ideal place (due to misleading names as depicted in the referenced post)?

This is kinda like Windows with the "We don't recognize this application" message. Letting it scan will probably just help other users avoid this annoyance in the future. You can also shut off play protect from the play store settings.

It still does this with app scanning turned off, unfortunately.

Oh, wow, that's absolute bullshit from Google in that case.

Yeah, I have it turned off by default.
