Apps are just browsers that can only visit one website. Who cares about them?
And websites are just little programs you can download at will, so who cares about them?
A lot of websites have server side programs taht are never downloaded by the client. So there is a pretty big difference there. Basically if you want a subversive anti-government "app" you really want a website, not an app.
Wait, where are you seeing a difference between that and how an app functions? Right now it feels like you're abstracting a bit too far in order to make a point, but I'm (genuinely) deeply curious what you mean.
