I get that purchasing the hardware that was built to Google's spec is problematic.
But other than semantics, what about the hardware itself is a privacy concern?
Discussion
I'm not talking about other privacy concerns. I'm saying don't call a Google Pixel with GrapheneOS a de-Googled phone.
So it is semantics. Got it.
No. Its just true. Dont be silly lol.
Your statement has nothing to do with privacy.
Nothing to do with outlining a threat within the hardware.
It's an argument over wording.
"Silly" indeed.
Well its about deceiving the privacy community. Your premise is wrong unfortunately. My post was not trying to outline the threat within the hardware that currently exists. I have spoken of this in the past.
Does rooting and flashing with graphene end the data leakage that finds it's way to Google?
I say no. Lets say it did though. That still wouldnt make it a de-Googled phone.
"No"
on no factual grounds.
The issue is semantics.
Fair enough. Good luck on your quest sir knight.
Its "No" because what your asking was never the point or topic of my post. I'm not sure why you would ask me your question when its beyond my posts point. Reread my post to better your understanding lol. 😂
