Both Tim and Pinchai paid Donald Trump money to attend his inauguration and lick his ass on a daily basis. They both have one very big incentive to invade their user's privacy: American fascism.

    Yes. It would be nice if the Americans got their shit together.

    Meanwhile, what phone should my mother buy in a store?

    Someone else already said it. Old style flip phone. Can text and make calls; can't serve ads or collect any more data than your contact list.

    Don't be facetious. Granny has a landline for calling - this is about a phone as we mean it today; a smartphone if you insist. Or how else is granny going to operate Netflix or whatever other service is only convenient on phones where they are?

    Yeah, but my mom can’t do banking on a flip phone.

    This is the issue. Everything sucks. Don’t complain that people make a determination to take the least fucky normal option instead of flashing privacy ROM of the week onto an old Nokia N95. Be happy they thought about privacy it at all.

    You can’t participate in normal society without a smartphone. There are two options for normal people. Pick the least shitty one.
