Agreed then. I'm a developer and I can't see myself developing on a mobile phone operating system anytime soon. But I still like my Android phone for taking notes, pictures, syncing PDFs and reading my mails. It's just two di

Since nobody pointed it out yet: that change was done for security reasons, not due to a political conspiracy. Media access was a big hole in the otherwise fine-grained permission model. Your camera app used to be able to access your WhatsA

Neither of these are going to happen. Closing the EU subsidiary would be a PR disaster, especially after the recent lawsuit (Max Schrems vs. Facebook). While the EU obviously wouldn't block access to Facebook, I doubt that the cost of

This is the only advice in this threads that actually solves the issue. Doesn't have to be SELinux, any of the frameworks will do. Or run it in a new network namespace.
