I used to take a purist Android view like this. But AOSP 4+ with its mandatory lock-in to Google services and its "always watching you" policy is the definition of lock-in malware. Do you trust the incentive for Google (for whom you are no customer but a product) more than that for your phone manufacturer (with whom you have a regular customer relationship)?

- jsjohnst 10y agoCall me naive, but even as an outspoken critic of many things Google, I trust their phones far more than any other Android phone. That said, I disagree I would trust even Google branded phones re: malware. Android will likely never have my trust there.
