As an increasing number of consumers grow weary of handing over their personal information to big tech companies, a number of solutions have become more widely available to address these concerns. De-Googled Android devices are now more available to average end users than before. One possible solution is running CalyxOS on a Pixel phone. The video below talks about the Calyx operating system and is also a good general overview of what a De-Googled Android phone is and what it means to the average end user.
So take back your privacy. Don't assume for-profit big tech has your best interest in mind... It's only 12-minutes long, watch it!
Great post, much of the public would never bother. Apple offers much more privacy then Android which we all know.
He doesnt compare Apple only Android. Apple is not open source.
I completely agree with him, I dont use anything google and limit myself to them and all invading information gathering services in every way possible using Apple. (without going to an extreme that is)
The only thing I would question about his system is who is to say how secure it is, with so little in use how can one be sure it is secure?
Everyday thousands, 100's of thousands? are trying to break into Apple devices.
For those into this stuff I can see the appeal but the public in general just doesn't care and why google is so successful. Im amazed anyone uses google applications or Android for that matter.
Let me make clear though, I admire this guy for at least helping to get the information out there.
Android is Swiss cheese for people who want privacy for no other reason than what they do is no one else business and I admire him for what he is offering. Maybe with effort it can be more private than Apple devices. Most likely can for those who are into this stuff but I am not sure if it is out of the box or not.
I would love Joe Public to take more interest in their privacy but it just doesnt happen. Maybe to a small degree and why there is always some privacy "pressure" on google. They then do small changes to satisfy the pubic demand and maintain market share..
