Android phones don't scan the data on your phone looking to notify the authorities that you aren't complying.
- SamuelAdams 5y agoYes but there are other tradeoffs that are introduced. Carrier-specific ROMs, difficulty upgrading to new android versions, generally more malware found in the Play store [1] and non-privacy-centric defaults [2] aren't really great to see either. I'm not looking to start another android vs iOS debate here. There's plenty of that online that I and others can reference. I'm more interested in seeing how people are finding alternatives or what privacy tradeoffs they are willing to accept to avoid Apple's recent photo scanning move.
