Chalk another one up for Big Brother. I wonder if this will apply to/be enforced on FDroid and Obtainium?

    Right, so basically they’ll have a database of who has (had) what app, when, and where…

    Which could include apps like Grindr (way to target the LGBT community), or like Signal (way to target Journalists, activists, and other privacy minded people). You can find out a lot about someone’s app choices and in a state like Texas, which is conservative and authoritarian, that can be used to go after certain demographics.

      Who is “they”? Google/Apple? Yes. But that’s not really anything new. Texas? I don’t think so.
