Let's ignore all of the preinstalled programs, which are signed by Google and do a great deal of spying.

Do you think the 100 most popular F-Droid apps do more spying than the 100 most popular Play store apps?

    No, that’s a straw man. The popular ones are not the concern.

      A straw man in your favor, maybe. Shall we compare the 100 least popular of each store?

      Those are more likely to be outright malware on Play.

Is this not a meaningless differentiation if Google does no assume any responsibility for apps on the Play Store?
