I don't think 'virus' is the right term, since it should self-replicate. 'Malware' or 'spyware' are probably better terms.

Malware on Android causes more harm, both to individuals and collectively to all Android users, than Google locking people out of their accounts. These aren't even in the same order of magnitude. There are countless examples of people who have lost their life savings, all their data, etc. Losing access to your Google account sucks too, and I don't necessarily agree with what Google is doing here, but you're completely off base here.

Was this comment made by an LLM? i dont know anyone who drops "blast radius" in casual conversation besides claude.
