  • they advertise themselves as degoogled, but instead let you connect to Google/Microsoft/etc services

  • replace all the proprietary not at all Secure Services from Google, with.... Drumroll please.... Proprietary and not at all Secure Services from themselves and actively encourage it.

  • They are For-profit

  • and being MORE out of date then even Fairphones stock roms.

But a TL;DR:

/E/ is not Private. They just switch one bad comany to another one.

Wow, even if they weren't doing that, the developer response there is enough to make me avoid your product. People pointing out your lies is not "harassment".

    The feature can be turned off. But the lack of upfront communication about it, and the developer's failure to even acknowledge people's concern about how proxying doesn't prevent OpenAI or the US Government deanonymizing your voice recordings, are quite worrying.
