I too have a 16GB Samsung flagship phone from a few years ago, which was unmodified and permanently full. I did a factory reset and had almost the same situation you describe, a few measly GB of free space.

I got annoyed, wiped and installed LineageOS.

I now have 12GB free, and that's after starting to reinstall most of the apps I use.

What the actual fuck, Samsung?!

True, they didn't need to go through this exercise, but if they hadn't, neither of us would be talking about them... which isn't exactly in their interests when Princeton handed them a perfect opportunity to blow their own trumpet, whilst at the same time pointing out how silly the original study was.

Facebook are mocking Princeton using similar statistical techniques to come to a similar conclusion. Your point is right there in the summary.

Not sure which of those 5 words gave you the impression that I was taking your post "so seriously" either... If I'd had mod points I wouldn't have bothered to reply, I was just showing how redundant it was.

Oh, I'm sorry, do you think the NCA, Mossad, Al-amn al-Watani, Ministry Of Intelligence and Security, State Security Department, etc., don't spy on their own citizens too?

I don't recall saying or implying that, but nice strawman, and nice attempt at deflection. Your original post is still just as silly though.

The NSA got caught.

Isn't that kind of the point? Or would you please fill me in on how best to quantify this sort of thing without any reliable evidence?

I don't think the NSA is the worst of the lot, not by a long shot.

Nobody cares what you (or I) think is true. Based on stacks of documents provided by our pal Ed, the NSA is the worst of the lot at the moment. At the very least they're tied for first place, but with far better funding than their colleagues put together. This may well change when more information is revealed, but lets not pretend we know things that we don't, k?

There's plenty of recent historical examples of shit other intelligence agencies have done that make what the NSA is doing today look rather germane

As irrelevant as it was last time you brought it up last time.

No country would put its intelligence agencies at a competitive disadvantage merely to satisfy the petty outrage of an internet pundit.

No true country, indeed.
