The CIA got him in the end.

Is it possible the scanner is just intercepting the install request, then running the apk installer from the scanner afterwards? (so Fdroid wasn’t the program installing it, but it’s still the same APK)
They’re probably betting on the majority of zoomers being too tech illiterate to know how to pirate having raised them on streaming.
I guess we will see if they are right.
