I’m worried for “us” not for me :D

The back door can be made in the hardware

So you get privacy from individuals while signing up to a company provenly offering back doors to government. It makes sense in the way that govenrment is not going to empty your bank account for sure. But I would call that safety and not privacy.

You are right.

I suppose I am a little bit frustrated with the fact that there are 4,9 billion smartphone users and yet 0,5% chance of having a non-US integrated phone. If someone had said that will be the future in 2007, I think most everybody would have thought it preposterous.

Thanks for the clarification!

Somehow I am not surprised that the only phone able to use software not made by google is a phone made by google. Or, of course, you can buy iPhone and comply with NSA that way.

I am going to take a lucky guess and say this is by design and not by accident.

Isn’t it a bit schitzoid to use an os designed to escape google on a google phone??

Am I to understand Nevada allows pedophilia for the price of 10000 dollars?

The problem is that that western countries usually fund campaigns and insurgents to overthrow the govenrment that is interferring with their moneymaking. Pop goes the president and a new guy steps in to take loans from the IMF. I mean it’s not beautiful but you mean to say the people are doing great under western puppet govenrments because that is a rich take. I’d say we still have to see. It’s dedinitely a bet for better but I’m sure France will try to bring the civil war to them soon enough.

We follow the money and we will know, right? If they start getting new infrastructure we know the guy is for real.
