Couldn't someone port that to a WEB interface ? Then you access it via Firefox. Maybe a PITA to use compared to a app, but at least it could not be banned.

Some people are still under the impression that they live in a democratic republic under a constitutional doctrine of permissive freedom and the rule of law.
A nuisance app that generated zero revenue for these app stores was used in a murder. It’s a PR no-brainer to simply remove it just as they constantly remove other apps for all sorts of reasons.
Funny how perspective on things can change depending of the amount of boot licking people enjoy.

Please direct me to the general computer in a phone form factor that isn't some fiddly Linux gadget. What e-reader doesn't allow side-loading books?
Ah the old "I want freedom but I refuse to accept any inconvenience to get it"
Freedom of speech should not require living in the woods secluded from society. It is the responsibility of all of us—especially major institutions—to work to preserve that. I can't do it on my own.

Giving your lunch money to a bully all but guarantees they'll be back for more.
This is literally how extortion by organized crime works. It's the same mechanism. Of course they'll be back for more, but if you don't give them your money, they will beat the shit out of you and then come back for more anyway. You know what's expected of you, and the alternatives are generally much worse. Incidentally it's also a textbook presentation of the Manufacturing Consent Propaganda model, except it's not o…

Streaming services which lock you into DRM won over the slightly inconvenient but free thing.
Your time will always better be spent getting government to make the convenient thing more free than trying to move a river by gathering people with buckets.
I’d say this is a perfect candidate for a web app / PWA.
Am working on a mobile app that requires in person keygen/sharing via Bluetooth, syncs selected data between devices once keys exchanged and new local IP is shared (over something like Signal; discovery is hard/expensive so I am going with a low tech manual option to notify peers how to reconnect)
Flood the field with alternatives to keep The Man on his toes and distracted.
The main problem with hyper normalized and streamlined society is it just makes it easier for The Man to spot and squash dissent. What is dissent when the people are peacefully not following orders by making passive surveillance difficult.

Neither ICEBlock nor Red Dot are OSS. Seems a little hypocritical. Why not provide the code on GitHub? Why not offer alternative download sources?
But absolutely start a project under a permissive license. That's a great idea.
"vulnerable group" Google, name your non-vulnerable groups. Could those being taken away be considered a "vulnerable group" or a non-vulnerable group? This is pure hypocrisy in the wild.
