@snikket_im Totally agreeable. This is a very critical issue. What is depressing is having to systematically remind everyone of the high value of freedom of expression and other fundamental rights.

As Snikket is still not available on the #Google Play Store, we've published a longer blog post about the situation, how to work around it using #FDroid, and the long path of stupid Google review responses that led us here.

@snikket_im Deja vu. It's a shame Google is like this, but F-Droid is a better home anyway

@snikket_im par for the course for Google's ecosystem. 😔

@snikket_im surprised google was anal about the privacy policy part, apple was fine with a page that just said “My application does not collect user data” (though it was confusing to figure out I needed that - the whole set of requirements it’s a bit ambiguous for open source clients of arbitrary servers)

Here's a little thing that may not be obvious to many people....

When you install an open-source app from Google Play or the Apple app store, there is no guarantee that what you install actually matches the public code.

@fdroidorg are doing a great service. They independently build the public source code for apps from scratch, review for common issues, and publish their builds. Thanks to "reproducible builds" it's possible to verify they do not tamper with the code.
