Do you imagine it isn't already being abused? I think they're trying to post-legalize their surveillance methods. You see the push to legalize the undermining of encryption? All those "for the children" and "to catch drug dealers" stories? Yet the technical means to do so already exists and is trivial to do remotely and in bulk. Secrecy is Always All Ways Abused and Misused ‽ So let there be an Almighty Light ‽ So notice the push to undermine encryption and realize the purpose isn't to obtain technical means to do that, but rather to legalize their existing technical means. The law was changed to make it legal after the fact. Their surveillance is supposed to be for security and terrorism, not copyright, they did it anyway. The Kim Dotcom surveillance: NZ law forbade NZ spooks surveillance of NZ residents, they did it anyway. The mere fact you installed say, Telegram or Mega, or whatever, may cause you to receive a special version of some other common software. It wouldn't have to be the target software either, that receives the special package, any app on the same device could receive a special package. So inherently any Android app from Google Play is untrustable, even if the company that makes it is trustable, because Google could give you a tailored surveillance version, and sign it as if it was legitimately from the app provider. You hand them your app signing key to let them do that. Google builds end-user specific versions of apps, and signs them as if directly from the company.
