    You do you. I stand by my principals and don’t feel the need to pretend I’m some sort of Jason Bourne.

    Weird how now that Google went quarterly with their older device updates… it’s suddenly just not the big deal the GOS folks used as a hammer, with their ad nauseum attacks on other privacy projects. Back then I could smell their overhyped, overplayed security scare marketing tactics from a mile away. As it turns out, I was right.

    Not having any google crap in my household? Absoltely priceless

      If you don’t value security, that’s fine, but one does not need to be Jason Bourne to want a secure device. Also, privacy ≠ security.

        If you are willing to believe that google of all people don’t have backdoors into their own first party hardware, you do you.

            Fool me once …

            This is google. They have a track record of spying on anybody and everybody through whatever means available. The burden of proof is with them, at least as far as I’m concerned. You can do what you want, but I won’t buy anything with their name on it.
