my younger sister would be in so much trouble.

your younger syster should have parental controls on, and it's worrying that you suggest it is not the case. I don't know their age but most probably they shouldn't be able to install any apps from anywhere without parent approval.

She'd have various accounts phished within a day.

guessing fron what we already know, she probably shouldn't have half of those accounts.

My younger sister is in her 40s. She's a pretty typical cell phone user.

in that case parental controls would still solve a lot of problems, including this one

I think your parents should turn on their parental controls because you're going a bit wild, buddy.

I mean you're basically arguing for parental control, it is just done by google.

oh don't worry daddy google will turn it on for all of us thanks to the deranged irresponsibility of your kind.

if someone is so tech illiterate that they are breaking the phone's software and leaking their information all over the internet, they cannot be responsibly allowed to use that device without restrictions.

I bet you are one of those that want forced government ID based age verification everywhere because you agree with people who can't be bothered to set limits on their kids phone.
