Starting today, apps made by state and federal governments are getting a new government badge to help users better identify official apps.
The badge will first appear on over 3,000 apps for 12 different countries.
Nice. I like it.
We still need more government apps on F-Droid. EU’s OSS strategy suggests that we’ll have them eventually. I don’t think such badge will ever exist there, though.
That sounds interesting any sources to read up on that ?
Can’t wait for this tag to be added to TikTok
Apparently TikTok has said they would actually prefer to shutdown US operations rather than sell.
It would be hilarious to imagine a government run tiktok.
Oh my job? I scroll TikTok all day looking for morons posting crimes they do online and tagging them to be forwarded to local police departments.

I have no doubt that some police departments actually do this. You can gather a lot of intelligence from public posts by people that aren’t very intelligent.
I’ve seen policy bodycam videos on YouTube where the police knew where to find a criminal with a warrant because they were on TikTok or a similar site, bragging about some crime they committed, and tagged the location.
The “joke” was that TikTok is ran by the Chinese government.
