I don't think it being free software is necessary. There is plenty of anger when Apple blocks some non-free software from the App Store, like the whole Epic/Fortnite situation, or many other cases with smaller indie developers. It seems much, much worse for the government to be doing that, doesn't it? With the Apple situation, you can choose to use Android or Linux instead, if it's the government, you... need to emigrate to use the software?

Epic is more palatable than a social media company but less obviously good than encryption.
