That would be a security issue, not a privacy issue. Maybe that was what RelativeArea0 meant but if so I think that confused people because "privacy" implies somehow corpos/the state is spying on you through Lineage

    LOS has privacy issues though, if I remember correctly. like, default DNS server is 8.8.8.8of google, assisted gps contacts a global server of I think qualcomm to speed up getting a GPS fix, and others I don't remember now

    It could be included as both with a unlocked bootloader all user data could be easily retrived with physical access to device.

    That kind of data access is generally included under security not privacy (which is more about telemetry), but obviously with a state threat model privacy and security can become blurred, and that kind of data access is of concern if you are at risk of having devices seized by the state.
