én azt sajnálom (kis kár örvendéssel), hogy rengeteg ember bújt mögéjük a "Privacy. That’s iPhone" szlogenjük miatt és remélte hogy az érdekeit képviseli a cég, szemben Google-lel.

ezzel most egyértelművé vált hogy nem több ügyes marketing fogásnál, és egy szavát sem lehet hinni a cégeknek, senki nem nézi a vásárlók igényeit és egy "melyik mainstream telefont vegyem" kérdés esetén a személyes igényeken túl nincs értelme moralizálni. (és ezutóbbinak mondjuk eddig sem volt sok értelme)

@tardis I don't necessary understand your take. on one hand you're pointing fingers at the users they should know better but on the other you're saying there's nothing one can do because everyone will sell their data anyway.

yes, users could educate themselves better how to protect their privacy.

but expecting everyone to question a loud privacy stand from a company when EVERY tech news site announced them as *the privacy hero who protects from evil ads* is a bit of a stretch.

@tardis also, I think "careful what they share" is a very vague exclamation. in general most people don't *share* top secrets from their lives with Siri, search engines, or even during a small talk with their family.

but the problem is **every** part of your life can used against you when a company doesn't respect your privacy. (just think about the wild example of the charged woman (women?) in the US who searched for abortion clinics when the state outlawed it)

@tardis @pcdevil I totally agree that there are not too much to choose from, and I really believe in everyone's right to choose what they want to (based on their focus and needs).
But there are some cool projects for smartphones that are worth the look (@GrapheneOS , @calyxinstitute , @LineageOS), and also some great alternative software to use in replacement of the apps and services of the big players.
