Fuck all.

It also brings several downsides. The strong focus on security at all costs means there are no third party app repositories, so if a government entity tells them to take an app down, it's just gone with no repercussions or recourse. Gov tells F-Droid to drop an app and its gone until the dev launches a tor onion repo and then its like nothing happened.

Play centralized games when centralized prizes.
