Yup, anything Meta backed, not on my phone.

I specifically refuse to have any Google or Meta apps on my phone. Yes, my phone is an iPhone made by Apple, but I figure I'll put all my eggs in one violator's basket. At least this violator has a financial incentive not to siphon and sell all my information.

  • Oh but they do, however, what’s the alternative? PinePhone? LibreRola? At least I know Apple cares about encryption and keeps the keys to the kingdom behind paywalled doors.

    The amount of malware installed on Android just from visiting a website is crazy.

      What do you mean by this? Is it because of the embedded browsers that pop up before Chrome/Firefox? I thought that was your own browser in some special session (that hopefully doesn't retain state).
