The US Constitution's First Amendment protects religion from government. There is no amendment protecting porn or gratuitous violence. Marking the religious apps as NSFW may be a violation of the First Amendment and could potentially be challenged in court, to a potentially huge sum of money and F-Droid's potential detriment.

The First Amendment does not apply to fucking app stores. It applies to the government and only to the government. That does include the government leaning on people, but it does not include editorial or curation decisions made by totally private organizations.

If you tried to take your position to a court in the US, even now, you'd be treated as a frivolous litigant... which, to be clear, means being told to fuck off and not come back.

Please stop posting this kind of ignorance. It burns.

  • The Soviet Union had freedom of speech too. It's just that you didn't have freedom after the speech was the problem.

    • I honestly cannot figure out what you are trying to say here. I don't think you can either.

      Nobody is throwing anybody in prison, nor threatening to.

      One of the reasons the First Amendment applies only to the government is that, unlike an app store, it can throw people in prison.
