Privacy Guides is building a database of Android app signing certificate hashes to help make it easier to verify app integrity.

We need your help! 🫵

We need you to submit any apps you have installed on your phone that we can add to our database.

@privacyguides Let me know when you figure out how to host this somewhere that doesn't require a Microsoft account.

@DekOfTheYautja @privacyguides It's actually kinda crazy that GitHub is a Microsoft company but they don't allow logging in with a Microsoft account.

@aninus Whose account is it then?

[nead@social.vivaldi.net]

@privacyguides I'm not submitting shit. If there's ONE thing privacy advocates have been hammering into our techy minds is, don't just hand over your data when it's requested.
Y'all gotta find a better way to glean the apps you are looking for.

@privacyguides I would love an Appverifier fork with your expanded database! I think this would be very helpful to make the process a little more user-friendly and accessible for less tech-experienced folks.

@inomfood someone else is now building an AppVerifier fork which incorporates our data, although we haven't vetted it so YMMV https://github.com/RoundSalmon4/AppVerifierBG
