    I’d say that Apple is way worse than Google in a lot of cases. But this doesn’t mean Google are saints either. Both companies collect huge swaths of data on their users and easily share it with LEA. at least Google doesn’t hide behind a fake “Privacy” curtain like apple does.

    Even though Google kept Android opens source for their own personal gains but this still helped get us Graphene OS, and other privacy and security focused Custom Roms. And they could’ve or still can kill entire custom ROM market if they want to (I hope they don’t read this and get any idea). And currently only Google pixel devices allow you to relock the bootloader with custom keys no other phone manufacturer does that. And apple doesn’t even allow you to sideload apps for “security reasons”. When it could be argued that Graphene OS is much more secure than both stock apple and android.
