   Are Apple devices really privacy-respecting? The truth is that user privacy is *impossible* without free software. Read more at https://u.fsf.org/3fy #freesoftware #privacy #Apple

     @madjo @fsf Android and Sailfish are proprietary. You could switch to Librem 5 with PureOS, which is a libre GNU/Linux distro. Another option might be PinePhone Pro, but it requires proprietary firmware packages for some things to work.

     @fsf “time to go”? Go where? To Google’s Android?! As if that’s better for your privacy!

     And I don’t trust Sailfish for one bit after they scammed me on their tablet.

     I have more faith in Apple’s assurances than in Google’s. After all the latter used to have “don’t be evil” in their statutes until they quietly removed it.

     Also the link is to a really old article. All online services have csam scanning technology built in.

     The fully free fork of Android that the FSF recommends - Replicant is better for your privacy, as all of google's spying proprietary software is removed.
     
     The truth is that apple spies on an incredible level but lies, while google spies just slightly less (pretty much the same tbh), but actually admits what spying they do and allows you to view it.
