    yes, mentioning any choice that isn’t custom (like degoogled or linux phones) for any sort of privacy is misinformation, whether you believe in it or not.

    and yes, google is making privacy claims. shit, even meta claims their apps are private, esp whatsapp.

        do their marketing have to be exactly the same as apple’s for my point to have validity?

          No but it seems like being deliberately obtuse is necessary for your point to have validity.

                then you should start saying things that are actually true? or not believing corporate propaganda at face value?

                  Have I said anything that’s untrue? Or am I just obliged to agree with you? You dismissed Clent’s comment because “Apple’s claims are irrelevant”, so even if they were doing exactly what they say, you wouldn’t accept it. There’s literally no point to this conversation beyond drawing out a disagreement where neither person can categorically be proven correct.

                    you claimed there is a lesser of two evils between stock apple and google phones, and implied throughout the conversation that apple is the better one. both claims are untrue.

                    the other commenter you allude to claimed iphones are not closed source, which is really untrue.
