For the threat models and data harvesting the general consumer (i.e. our moms) will face

If your mom is going to install facebook, X and instagram to post all personal details and photos away along with all the permissions app requests. I don't think it matters?

Are you talking about security? What else is Android secretly supplying these apps?

Let’s stop perfect getting in the way of better.

"Let's just giveaway more leeway for corporations, so we can get more accustomed to losing our rights, until we have to jump off the cliff for the lesser evil"

Apple fanboys were proud they had no ads, Apple put on ads. They said they fight the government, they work with authoritarian governments around the world. They said they care about user privacy, they were funneling notifications to directly to the US government.

Yea, keep defending these knucklefucks, they're totally not trying to manufacture consent for global surveillance while you're given the illusion of "lesser evil" and losing ownership of devices you bought.

Downvote away, cult.
