Nope. Just nope. I'll stick with choice and privacy over promises of privacy by a for-profit.

- rufugee 11y agoYou really think you get privacy with Android? Have you ever monitored outbound connections on your device? There's a LOT of activity there. Even with Cyanogenmod's Privacy Guard, which at least improves the Android permissions debacle. Combine that with GMail. I pay for the business version, yet the privacy policy is still hard to understand and I still get suspicious ads popping up which seem to have come from no where else but my email. Could be wrong, but it's uncanny. I have a hard time trusting Google.
- olifante 11y agoIt doesn't matter whether it's open source or closed source, non-profit or for-profit. If it's made by a company headquartered in the US, there's no escaping a national security letter with a gag order. Anything within Five Eyes (AUS/CAN/NZ/UK/US) jurisdiction (such as Ubuntu) is probably not much safer. We really need a new Linux distribution headquartered in a safe jurisdiction.
