Let me be specific: when we root an Android device and install in it a ROM like cyanogen mod (or smtg like that), if we don't install Google services app would we still be tracked by Google anyway?

Good question i think it depends what do u do after install it

Tracking is less but is still possible since google has made the core os

That's what I think. I think it's needed a deep work trying to read a lot of Wireshark logs to comprehend

Isn't the core Android os open-source?

It is but doesn't mean it won't ping back to Google

You could then use firewalls to block domains

Can't we remove/replace the google dependent parts of the os?

It is but doesn't mean it won't ping back to Google

Besides no one has audited the entire source code. There's also possibility of tracking at the hardware level due to proprietary vendor code

Why not Librem then?

FOSS phone, right down to hardware and telephony components

Removed msg from Soumya ⚛️. Reason: new user + external link

But the other thing is.... even if you remove them from your phone, the other network devices can still be used to track you

The Tories claim the data protection bill will make us safer. That’s not true Is your data safe? The answer must be no if this government manages to push through its data protection bill without important amendments. The Tory claim that the bill is necessary for protecting our data is false. access here: http://bit.ly/2ETPKpq

Hi. New to telegram here. Nice to join you.

In its encryption report, we wish the National Academy of Sciences had given as much weight to the benefits of encryption as they gave to law enforcement’s real and claimed need to bypass it. https://t.co/TazNQsqdt4

These are all straws in the wind. Why? Because the government has access to everything it needs. Or mostly.

Those who need to stay paranoid will find ways and means to get around.

How the scrutiny of a US court system, for example, valid for someone in Asia? Like what Signal did. Some phony case comes up, the bastion of investigative journalism doesn't fucking squeak and that's it. The lies get amplified through that Signal doesn't keep "metadata". That gets repeated ad nauseaum by the dorks in privacy subreddit that Signal is " secure"

Its stupidity at its finest ?

If for anything, we just need to question and not take anything on the face value

Surprisingly good write up.

Lets wait for PayTm to crash and burn. But it is not going to. Its chat offering is a dud. WhatsApp not following the mandatory security procedures is going to shoot itself in the foot once the SIM card cloing/identity theft happens in a big way.

Axis bank partner or sponsers in ripple coins?

What they are going to do about that?

I think they hate bitcoin because they can't control it and don't know owner/creator behind it.
