This whole 'war' is actually about convenience and nothing to do with privacy (or 'math'). If you want your information to be private, don't store it on a device that cannot guarantee that privacy. If you have to use that device, encrypt the data first, yourself. Oh, but wait, that takes time and is hassle - I like the device manufacturer / network provider / etc. to do that for me so I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT MY PRIVACY. If it's that important to you, ensure it happens. If it's too inconvenient, it's obviously not really that important. Of course, that's what 'smart' phones are in the first place - money & privacy in exchange for convenience. shrug
