Actually, it's better to capture the email last , once they've committed every other piece of information as a sunk cost, and ideally make entering an email optional to boot in order to reduce friction. The need to create an acco

Sure thing, but at least Android is open source. Huawei's drivers, which is what led GCHQ to probe into Huawei's code and write a rather uncharitable report on what their coding practices look like [1], are not. Admittedly, as mem
