Your own government is usually the biggest threat to your privacy. And namedropping the UK as some gov you would prefer from a privacy point of view is silly.

- whynotmaybe 2y agoI don't have any gov app installed on my phone, though it came with the whole Google suite, Facebook and Instagram installed. And I can't remove it unless I root it. If you're in a country where the gov is a threat to your privacy, you're in a dictatorship. A democratic gov does not really care a lot about personal data, it only wants tax money. A private company cares a lot about personal data because each bit of personal information is sellable to anyone interested.
- vladvasiliu 2y agoDidn't the UK have an issue with Apple the other day, trying to get some "backdoor" to icloud? Which prompted Apple to say they'd remove E2E encryption for those users? How's that tax related and not caring about personal data? Does that make the UK a dictatorship?
- rightbyte 2y ago> If you're in a country where the gov is a threat to your privacy, you're in a dictatorship. Really? Nothing to hide? Any practical democracy does strange stuff.
