This is the Free as in beer, not Free as in freedom thing. They want to save money, not let users run their own code.
You might not agree but that doesn't change the fact that the way the laws work they do have a 100 % monopoly in *the App Store* which is enough. This is like Microsoft banning Steam (except the Facebook app is with free games unlike Steam).
Your comment falls a bit flat when you make it out as if sensors in Tesla's are better than average. They really aren't. On top of that Tesla's attempt to sell their level two self-drive as an autopilot makes most Tesla drivers more dangerous as they tend to believe it can do more than it can.
Since when does "better" mean "remove ads so they can sell their own"? Just like Adblock plus whitelists and Apples ad-shit.

If you are online, you have an IP.
Not tracking porn site info for ad use makes no difference and you know it. How about Google Hosted Libraries, Microsoft Ajax CDN, CDNJS (Cloudflare), jQuery CDN (MaxCDN), jsDelivr (MaxCDN), AngularJS, Backbone.js, Dojo, Ember.js, Ext Core, jQuery, jQuery UI, Modernizr, MooTools, Prototype, Scriptaculous, SWFObject, Underscore.js,, Web Font Loader? Does no one collect stats from those? How about Google Chrome and Google DNS? Everyone of those collect data and you know it.
> Is anybody really not blocking doubleclick and google analytics by default?
How would that make any difference?
It is not "doubleclick and google analytics". It is Google Hosted Libraries, Microsoft Ajax CDN, CDNJS (Cloudflare), jQuery CDN (MaxCDN), jsDelivr (MaxCDN), AngularJS, Backbone.js, Dojo, Ember.js, Ext Core, jQuery, jQuery UI, Modernizr, MooTools, Prototype, Scriptaculous, SWFObject, Underscore.js,Web Font Loader,
And yet big business helps Three letter agencies a lot more (at least for now) in the US than anywhere else. And yet NSA collects more data in big business backrooms than anyone else. And yet.....etc.
Yes, you can complain in the US, but it makes no difference *at all* as history will tell you if you look. In the US you are allowed to complain but you only have rights of law if you are rich. If China is so bad, why does the US do the same thing a lot more and is somehow better? Someone is clearly biased. The two worst things on earth is pizza with pineapple and the US of A.
>How would you go about proving, in a way that a non-technical user can understand, that an application for X11/Linux downloaded from its publisher's PPA does not engage in pervasive telemetry?
Do you hold Windows and Windows software to the same standards? Or is Linux special?

Sending 100% of your traffic to / through a US company service is like pissing your pants for warmth! Qwant is better and so is a lot of other browsers and search engines.
Add protection for private keys at rest in RAM against speculation and memory sidechannel attacks like Spectre, Meltdown, Rowhammer and Rambleed. This change encrypts private keys when they are not in use with a symmetic key that is derived from a relatively large "prekey" consisting of random data (currently 16KB). Attackers must recover the entire prekey with high accuracy before they can attempt to decrypt the shielded private key, but the current generation of attacks have bit error rates that, when applied cumulatively to the entire prekey, make this unlikely.
