    So that title is just a straight up lie. They want to use a de-googled Android.

    To be honest I was hoping for an alternative OS, competition is always good. But a de-googled Android could possibly be good, but being Chinese I assume instead of Google telemetry you’ll just be replacing it with CCP telemetry.

      I mean judging by the current American government id much rather my data is going to the CCP then the American Government via Google as a proxy.

      US telemetry == CCP telemetry, I can’t see how CCP will be more damaging to regular person.

        I think it’s just that they were saying his won’t end up benefitting us. It’s just changing who is holding the binoculars.

          Because, at least for now, the US has the greater power to fuck up our lives with the information gathered.
