> I appreciate that Android is widely adopted in India, a free and open source operating system but the amount of data being collected is simply too much thanks to oems installing their own software on top of it. This is because most people in India are buying androids because they are inexpensive, not because they are open source. Most of the people in India I have talked too, actually aspire for an Apple iPhone but can’t get one because it is too expensive.
