Here's a thing that I just can't understand: how FOSS developers can remain
apolitical knowing full well that proprietary technology and tracking are our
one-way tickets to a 1984 cyberpunk nightmare...
Every FOSS software store I know of just says "License: Proprieatry" and stops
right there, except for one: F-Droid (https://f-droid.org/), a FOSS app store
for Android, a platform so locked-down that it's de-facto proprietary...
Ironic, isn't it?
Here's how F-Droid reports anti-features:

They even cosider anonymous telemetry (like Firefox health reports) an
anti-feature unless it's fully opt-out (as opposed to opt-in). Earns them mad
respect from me.
Discover should start reporting anti-features as well.
In fact, I think you should consider linking directly to hard truths such as
https://www.gnu.org/proprietary/proprietary.html and
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/surveillance-vs-democracy.html in your "Learn
more" links, if you have the courage...
