| There are clueful people who disagree about Android vs. iOS for security (they're a minority, to be sure). But at this point: people who express shock, surprise, or outrage that security people are recommending iOS are demonstrating cluelessness. The clueful people who argue in favor of Android start not by saying "you can't trust anything that isn't open source" (that would be especially silly if you're arguing for Google's Android phones, which are the only trustworthy phones), but by acknowledging the consensus that iOS is more secure and then challenging it. On this thread alone, you've: * Suggested that reverse engineering is a kind of arms race between the NSA and the "good guys", which it is not. * Suggested that Tor is inextricable from Tor Browser. * Complained about the suggestion that you might learn how reverse engineering works, because you're just a software developer. I'm sorry, but comments the one upthread I'm replying to are indistinguishable from trolling to me. I know that's a bit of an aggro thing to say. But: do you honestly believe that the people who write advice like Matt Green in the story we're commenting on, or in the brief we're commenting on here, don't understand what open source is? |

If that not a personal attack I don't know what it is.
Oh and would you have time to address any of my questions? (In terms other than ios vs. android?)
