They'll possibly modify it, but we'll have to see what that means. Well-intentioned backdoors are still backdoors. > Who else is doing better? That's completely irrelevant to the discussion.
Just to humour the question: Android (AOSP), Pine (from PinePhone), Librem, CalyxOS and GrapheneOS are some products and operating systems that I could think off that respect the users' privacy better. > I get that you don’t like the system, but how do you solve it? Is it not worth solving? Too easy to nix ideas without contributing to the conversation. Customers don't have any responsibility to solve this. It's totally in the customers' right to complain and say "we don't want this feature". For good reasons, as shown by all the experts and privacy advocacy groups. |
