gapps is absolute cancer in terms of privacy

Totally

also get rid of windows

Why? You mean we shouldn't trust Google apps?

Why? You mean we shouldn't trust Google apps?

would you trust your neighbors to read every single keystroke and message that you send

then why would you trust Google

But I like their services ? Removing all these and using alternatives would be a lot of pain

also get rid of windows

if you think it'll be difficult or you'll not understand Linux you're wrong. you can use gnu/linux distros with gnome or kde which work exactly like windows

I've never had any problem

They don't sell data, do they?

But I like their services ? Removing all these and using alternatives would be a lot of pain

you have to ask yourself this, is the comfort of using that worth your privacy

They don't sell data, do they?

they do

Google's entire revenue comes from selling data

you have to ask yourself this, is the comfort of using that worth your privacy

But..

I'm on custom ROM. So I can't trust them either?

Stfu bakchod

No traffic updates no local businesses

traffic updates serves what purpose to you? it helps government dissolve riots and protests. it doesn't help you do anything

local businesses? you want advertisements or a map?

Osm shit won't be even 3% close to maps

it uses the same public domain maps that Google maps uses

only thing is it respects your privacy

lol.. i'd actually like the shortest route too.. but not at the sake of tracking when i'm even in the toilet. ? fuck google! & alphabet! ?

Now since so many people Are active.. Happy to see that.. Let me come in

Aadhar is a fantastic project. When government plans a project.. It's plans it on the basis of many things... Not only one. So government of India ?? has to tackle terrorism from Pakistan ??. Sleeper cells so called. So they need some way to identify citizen & sleeper cells. It's just an idea & no idea is full proof. U all can see so many terrorist attacks in Europe & USA... India.. Why? Bcz even after technology... Smart people.. Nothing can never be perfect. Just how perfect it can her is the motto. So common back to aadhar... It's a mess in implementation. It's a mess in detailing, by which I mean.. It's ok the government had the details of the citizen but only only if be agrees to be answerable everytime we citizen ask question regarding how they are keeping our data. Which they(no country, not only India) does.

Due to its implementation.... It's become an privacy mess.

Casual approach from government planning departments... I guess intellegence agencies dominated the discussion panel.. Bcz this kind of approach can only be shown from intellegence community as they are only trained to gather information in any way possible.. Rather tuning about privacy ?
