"AppLovin installs apps on Android devices without user consent--with no notice at all when a user taps X to close an install solicitation or after a quick countdown. I decompiled AppLovin code to find the functions that do the install. Consumers are angry: 200+ complaints alleging violations of Android security norms. Disclosure: I am short APP"

"Monday I proved AppLovin ($APP) installing apps without user consent. Today AppLovin denied it to @oliviasolon . I say their denial is false. "Every download results from an explicit user choice" No. "explicit request" No. I filed an SEC complaint:"

"@muddywatersre I alerted SEC to this mess. On Monday I proved $APP installs apps without consentyet they told Bloomberg they only install upon explicit request. My complaint has two more discrepancies too. . Disclosure: I'm still short"

"@FuzzyPandaShort Agree. Plus for seven adjacent quarters $APP touted the installs business for "contributions" to "future growth." Now the week they're solidly caught the biz is unprofitable Not plausible. My SEC complaint"

"@bo_williamson Quite something that they say they stopped but right when called out with impeccable proof. Plus they claim installs only upon on "explicit request" but my article proves otherwise. I say $APP statements false. I asked SEC to investigate. Still short"

"@robleathern @KendraEBarnett @Adweek @AppLovin Plus AppLovin CFO spoke favorably about Array in an earnings call. X consecutive SEC filings spoke favorably. Then the day after I publish forensic proof of nonconsensual installs suddenly "not economically viable." Convenient"

"@JackHarper65595 @TomEhikian @accrued_int @FuzzyPandaShort I'm the guy who extracted analyzed and posted the source code. You can read it on -- click "Execution Path." The code I show does more than auto download; it downloads AND INSTALLS. And it does not request user consent"

"@SilbergleitJr @MrJulius007 @accrued_int @silberschmelzer @muddywatersre @nypost @commonsenseplay Beyond the direct revenue loss what about reputational damage Will advertisers trust AppLovin if it turns out they installed apps without consent Want AppLovin (Axon) to grade own homework What will Google say about circumventing Android security"
