      Maybe someone can use these as precedent to go after that app. But that app needs to be addressed quickly, because from what I understand, the app is mainly targeting the people who are required to use it. Journalists.

      If the app disappears from public app stores and is required to be sideloaded, you’ll know they are trying to keep it from people who will take it apart like this guy did.

        I could swear I read this exact comment on another thread about the recent Whitehouse app. Wrong post?

          That link I posted is about the Whitehouse app and all of the government apps, so maybe they were commenting on it when it was posted yesterday.
