Google bans fake ID apps from the Play Store

The Play Store used to be the wild west of app distribution—you could download apps that would root your phone back in the day … Now, Google disallows various apps that are considered inappropriate or dangerous, and you can add another class of apps to the list today … Apps that promise to help you make a fake ID will not be permitted in the Play Store, but there’s nothing stopping developers from hosting those apps someplace else.
