Orbot connects directly to raw.githubusercontent.com on startup

While leak testing Orbot, I noticed that it creates a connection to raw.githubusercontent.org

https://github.com/guardianproject/orbot/blob/master/app/src/main/java/org/torproject/android/OrbotApp.java#L42

I dont know why this is even necessary as the app store updaters already provide a notification, this doesn't seem to have ever actually notified me about an update, but it sure does let M$ know who all the orbot users might be.

Maybe if it's really necessary it could make the connection over... tor?

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
