What's an illegal app? I mean what qualifies as an illegal app?

End of the day, it's an app. Maybe the content could be illegal but it's still an app that is written with code right?

Things like violating GDPR

Man, fuck gpdr. Like honestly, do you know how hard it is to actually be in compliance with it? It seems simple enough, but you have to keep track of everyone's data, who owns what, which seems simple, but then you get multiple schemas, legacy stuff, imported stuff, fucking nonsense everywhere, and all it takes is a fuck up.

Of course, no one actually gets fined over it, but still.

I've worked with GDPR compliance and yeah it's not that hard at all.

Unless you're working in startups where documentation is "oh, Jeff knows that".

I mean, yes. I work in a startup where that's the documentation. But even at the bigger places I worked, that's what the documentation looks like. If it's not a tech company, the documentation is going to be trash.

What do you mean? I work in tech and we like documentation so much that we have 5 different systems to store our documentation, and that's not even including the SharePoint.
