It seems to me like maybe he understands the importance of anonymity sets, more than the importance of pure verifiable open source code&#xA;&#xA;But he made the point that if F-Droid&#39;s focus is verifying which apps are open source, then they should just call his app closed source instead of blocking it from their store&#xA;&#xA;He&#39;s right - F-Droid getting rid of the censored app store to focus on raising awareness would be more effective, since what they&#39;re doing now has not resulted in any major public awareness of the need for a fixed Android Tor library or anything like that</html></oembed>
