Security Considerations
While appspot.com is an established platform, these capabilities require extra vigilance.
User-Generated Content
appspot.com hosts content created by its users, not the platform operator. Individual posts, profiles, or pages may contain scams, misinformation, or phishing attempts that the platform hasn't yet detected or removed.
Custom Subdomains
appspot.com allows users to create custom addresses like "anything.appspot.com". An address like "paypal-secure.appspot.com" may look official but is actually controlled by whoever registered that subdomain—not Google.
Remember: The platform itself is established, but even established platforms can be abused.
