alt Hacker NewsI don't understand why governments haven't started to fund F-Droid, almost all govt. apps are open-source.
Countries which fear they could be cut off from the duopoly mobile ecosystem should be forcing android manufacturers to bundle in F-Droid; For the amount of nonsense regulations they force phone manufacturers to adhere to, bundling F-Droid wouldn't be that hard.
Google won't be happy, but anti-trust regulations would take care of it.

Because it's not their responsibility. Why they should care about these kind of stuff? Don't drop everything on governments.
A project like F-Droid is dumb to begin with where they're the one to build the apps.

What did your local politician say when you wrote to them and suggested it?
(I've worked with several politicians. You'd be surprised what a well timed letter or meeting can achieve.)
