This would also seem to be a vulnerability of Canonical's centralised snap store. Would they take down submissions containing content that the CCP objects to?


Snap provides commands to pull from other snap stores. There's nothing preventing people from setting up their own snap stores.


This is incorrect. It does not have commands to pull from other app stores and Canonical has stated they have no intention of adding external repositories of any kind. It does have commands to manually install a pre-downloaded snap package, but you have to put `--dangerous` on the CLI and you won't get auto-updates for that manually installed package either.
