Where did you hear this? I’ve seen a couple of articles on this now but none of them have mentioned its specifically play protect or that it can be turned off
You can’t seriously actually trust that turning it off in the Google owned app they control or update will be meaningful. I’m really sick of people claiming it is, and I hope this will get them to realize that.
If you want to crush it fully, disable google play store as a whole, and make sure to tell your friends too because if that solution doesn’t get more popular there might not be third party apps to install since the devs will just quit.
I dunno, you’re the one claiming stuff that isn’t necessarily true (yet). This is a proposed update to Google Play Protect. You don’t have to have Google Play Protect enabled, and disabling it doesn’t really impact anything unless you’re the type of person to just download an apk from unverified sources.
Just turn off Google Play Protect and it’ll let you sideload whatever you want.

I keep play protect enabled in case I download anything unsafe.
Not really necessary if you limit your APK sources to trusted sources like apkmirror or github.
Github is not a trusted source. Anyone can dump apk files over there.
