Not that I do not agree, but if you think you'll be able to get Americans, who already do not trust the government, to download an app on their phones made by the government, well I have a bridge to sell you.

It's amazing how these very unregulated tech companies that have been proven time and time again to steal user data and mess up have this blind trust from the public.

They very much do not. No one trusts them. But they have other value that people are not willing to forego.

Also, have you seen any of the official government websites? They're buttgarbage. Go renew an amateur radio license online and tell me if anyone would intentionally install software designed like that on their devices.

The UK's won several awards for design. It's very easy to use. It would be nice to see something like that for the US.

It's open source.
just deploy it verbatim, and change your laws and taxes to work with what the web services do!
