" #Apple & #Google's mobile #duopoly is held together with chewing gum, twine, and moral vacuity.
The whole facade of the duopolist's power hinges on the false claim that stores create #security.
Instead of protecting us, #appstores reward platform vendors for failure and foster centralising, anti-OpenSource ecosystems. #Opensocieties cannot abide #closedplatforms that assert ownership of this much of our lives, not when claims of security are based on misrepresentations."
