I don't think it's accurate to treat Google as an indelible taint.
Google's intentions are the problem, but they're fairly transparent so easy to bypass.
- constantcrying 3y agoYou didn't want to use Google software. All android distributions are Google software. >Much of that was somebody else's code before Google ingested and linked to it. Not really. True for certain parts, e.g. the kernel, but Android is absolutely Google made. >I don't think it's accurate to treat Google as an indelible taint. You didn't want to use Google software.
