Is there a business opportunity here for an independent, transparent 3rd party, (side-loaded or not app)safety inspection/testing service? Right now customers rely on the word of outfits. mostly Google and Apple who make money on your use, that the software they will "allow" you to install is "safe." Yet a lot of malicious crap gets through and sometimes remains available until enough victims post reviews.

A legitimate, transparent and disinterested 3rd party vetting service would not have a stake in whether or not a customer would download or sideload apps - from anywhere.
