Do you think F-Droid is more resilient to malicious influence than Google's Play Store?
I haven't looked deeply into how F-Droid is currently operating, so maybe I'm off here, but isn't it just all on a server run by some random guy in his free time? I love what F-Droid is doing, and I think it has a bright future, but in its current state I would never trust it on any of my devices that I use for anything important.
Also, yeah, it really is super easy to crack open the WhatApp APK and confirm that it is, in fact, using libsignal. That would be kind of a weird thing to lie about, since anyone could quickly call them out on it.
- guappa 3y agoUsing libsignal doesn't mean that there is no API to enable a side channel :) I think that google and apple would just comply and do whatever they are told, while the f-droid guy needs to be hacked and might notice he got hacked, so in that sense it's safer.
