Nothing really prevents f-droid from this, right?

@lanodan
Well, they shouldn't.
After all, their Open Source ;-)

@Tommy LOL

Nothing, absolutely nothing prevents from doing open-source surveillance.
Specially server-side and where the package manager (f-droid application) fetches from the same server and that android devices are easily fingerprintable (most will happily tell you the model in the user-agent for example).

@lanodan @Tommy There's a reason there's widespread interest in decentralized systems!

Whether any particular decentralized system helps here is a totally seperate question.
