It gets worse. Google is trying to block me from installing this app every step of the way. This is #monopoly behavior. There's nothing dangerous about #fdroid. It's a competition to #google.

We get these reports every year, and after a while they mysteriously go away as more folks press "More Info" and "Install anyway" in the Google Play Protect dialogue.

This is reason enough to summarily ditch Google & OEM Android versions and replace them with versions that respect FOSS.

I'm also curious why there is nothing like F-Droid on iOS, nor is it common to find libre apps in Apple's app store. Even large FOSS brands that have an app store presence, like Mozilla, have had their product lobotomized by Apple.
