It's easy to hide these things behind It Just Works (tm). Give me a device that doesn't "just work". I want actual freedom in what my peripherals are doing.

- Angostura 7y agoIf you want actual freedom, you have to take time to look at all the menus.
- pbhjpbhj 7y ago.. and construe terms in the worst possible double-speak way: purchase means rental, off means "spy on you mode", ...?
- franga2000 7y agoExcept more and more options are being taken away by Google, so there's no menu (not even developer setting?!?) that could give you any sense of freedom back. For examples (not all privacy-related), see clipboard permissions, background usage rules, Firebase notifications, WiFi scanning... The only way to get freedom back on Android is to either run a very old version (bad!) or undo all the bad changes in an AOSP fork (difficult).
