Yep, let's just throw caution to the wind to save 5mil, 50mil, whatever small slice of the budget was there for national security. If we get down to brass tacks, forget who else uses it or not. You want to publish it to US-based companies only? Fine

I have WFH since 2005, always made sure I had my own office space and no distractions. I always have my cell phone on me if I step away, and most work items are done by conference call or email

Submission + - What High-End smartphone is the best to select for privacy and trust concerns? 1
cj9er writes: Considering all the privacy issues in today's online climate (all the issues with Meta right now), what is the best high-end smartphone to select?
Apple — no way they don't sell your data...sure, they have privacy for 3rd party apps, but what about the data they collect from the phone itself? Consider what the revenue is on a single smartphone (say $150), how do you think they have all that cash on hand?
Google — yeah right, Pixel is probably collecting 24/7 considering their main business is selling ads on Search. They have developed the Pixel line because they probably realized they were missing out the direct collection of data from their own hardware (cut out the middle players using Android).
Samsung — their TVs even collect and sell data on you. I don't really understand the price premium on Galaxy phones anyways.
I have kept my data and Wifi turned off on my phones for years. Initially it was for battery reasons but now add in data collection. Ultimately, if we could turn off the GPS feature at will on our phones, maybe we could prevent all tracking (except for cellular triangulation)
If we then think about safety, GPS is great and now with satellite-tracking on Apple phones, even better. But then what is going on behind the scenes 99.99% of the rest of the time when you don't require those options for safety reasons?
What phone manufacturer can be trusted?
