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

You can also read a bit more about some things F-Droid does to *prevent* tracking by server operators here: gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidclient

@fdroidorg @Tommy Oh wow this is a really good one, I wish browsers engines would do the same.

@lanodan @fdroidorg
Yup!
Looks like F-droid has a great taste of privacy!
