Just a reminder for those who aren't aware: Apple typically makes you upload your government ID to publish apps. I used to be part of their developer program (although I never finished any of the apps I wrote) and was forced to upload mine. For those of you who think there's no problem with forcing everyone to go through the app store, here's just one more serious issue that creates. Now they can be subpoenaed for something that could otherwise have been done anonymously.
- vdfs 1y agoanonymous app submissions will make the app store more dangerous. You can go the extra mile and create a company or legal entity if you want to hide your name, but it's straightforward for gov. to get your identity no matter what, they can just ask Apple or Google
- msgodel 1y agoThere still should be a way to share software anonymously. Just saying "it's dangerous so the whole use case is invalid" is retarded, lazy, and if you're an OS vendor benefiting from an app store the way Apple does, malicious.
