Carol, 24 Dec 2021I don't know, people are... well you know the word, st... moreTrue, but I don't try to change their mind, they do whatever they want, and I won't care if they come crying asking for help when one of the many privacy risks hit them right in the face.
The issue is how they say their personal opinion, which is nothing more than uneducated guess, as if it was a universal truth, and the issue is that it has influence.
Exactly like flat earthers, among themselves, they are just a group of crazy, no problems, they can believe whatever they want, the issue is that they create a danger to modern science because they can influence ignorant people who will think their mumbo jumbo is compelling evidences.
They do whatever they want with their own privacy, it is like their personal hygiene, but when someone tries to make toilet paper or toothbrushes disappear because they personally don't believe in such personal hygiene, it is far beyond their personal choice nor any acceptable level of attitude.
Mainly considering privacy is already seriously endangered and many try to find any borderline legal way they can to gather more data, most of the time for illegal and unethical uses.
If it was only about targeted ads, I'd be the first one to want those privacy intrusions, but they have been abused and have proven that often they are from scratch not collected for that, times and times again.
Those idiots are literally endangering our (themselves included) future from their ignorance.

"Jason Keats specified OV1 is not a sequal to the Essential PH-1 and that the phone will bring Google Mobile Services."
Lol, "privacy" and "Android" doesn't belong in one sentence.

IpsDisplay, 24 Dec 2021"I am a programmer, I know those stuffs better than yo... moreSee, that's exactly because of this kind of shits that I usually post long wall of texts, because if I don't describe everything fully, down to decomposing the meaning of every sentence, and sometime of single words, there are useless talks about the meaning of a sentence.
So, here, for you, as you were not able to comprehend the simple version, a longer version that will guide you on how to actually understand what you read :
"I am a programmer, albeit an amateur, and I love learning new stuffs, computer is a big part of it, and I have learned a lot of things about privacy, also I have a deeper understanding of the working of computer than non-programmer do, allowing me to have more insight about what is and isn't possible.
Also, you showed you had a really bad understanding about privacy, based on what you wrote, so the logic conclusion of this is that, I have a better knowledge of privacy and its underlying complexity than you do."
Yeah, tell me again how "PRIVACY is a modern day SCAM!" ISN'T an anti-privacy sentence?
Saying that privacy is a privilege IS anti-privacy, it isn't a privilege, it is a fundamental right, like the right to have your own preferences.
REGARDLESS what technology have come to, privacy is NOT a privilege, it is harder to get, but it is still essential, and if you think it is a privilege it is a clear demonstration of ignorance of MANY of the LIVE and FREEDOM THREATENING parts that comes with the lack of privacy.
There is no context in the smartphone community, there is only comments that are neutral and positive, and those who hurt things.
In ALL other community, negative comments are just negative comments, but because of how toxic the smartphone community is, and how often hate is shown toward everything, it has a REAL impact on things, even second degree and sarcasm, or the common personal opinion stated as a fact true for everyone, those aren't context-sensitive.
Any external reader who get onto those comments will only see a negative view toward something, in your case right here it was privacy, it can be about anything.
A negative comment is still a negative comment, whatever is the context.
As someone literally nicknamed "IpsDisplay" you should know by now that because ONE phone now and then come out with an LCD rather than an Oled there is still absolutely no justification in the world why someone should come and spit on it, because, they, personally, don't like LCD or prefer Oled, they don't need every phones in the market to have an Oled, mainly considering they would not buy this specific phone had it have an Oled display, nor they were waiting to see how this phone would come out to potentially buy it.
Regardless that other people does want LCD display and that they don't need all phones with an Oled, those will always come and spit on LCD, and it is TOTALLY different when it is a "rare" feature like LCD or a feature everywhere like punch holes, one is a justified complaint about something that doesn't leave any other choice for those who don't want it, the other is just someone who want every phone to match his own taste.
And those negative comments toward LCD are an ACTIVE REASON why there are fewer LCD display among modern, non-low-end smartphones, regardless of the context.

This is a common non arguement tool we call an appeal to authority
This is where someone does not provide a counter arguement or provide evidence to the topic at hand... "I've been doing this for 5 years " Is another example
Sigh this isn't going anywhere.. you don't want to respect context, you ignore the arguement of relativity and you hang on to the implication that I am pro anti privacy even though I explicitly relayed that this was based on comparing privacy pre smartphone ERA Vs post smartphone era
But alright you do you

Because the amount of stupidities you said are a huge proof you don't know much about the subject.
You don't even know if the phone will have or not any physical kill-switches, and you already talk about Wi-Fi triangulation, and you talk about it as if it was the only thing privacy related that matter...
No, I didn't say what can be done FOR privacy, I explained what privacy CAN DO that we currently can't have without being also a huge security risk.
If it was ONLY that, I wouldn't care, but you literally go in an anti-privacy agenda here.
Don't conveniently quote what is practical for you, your sentence was :
"PRIVACY is an OLD privilege those days are forever over"
Which DO contain "those days are forever over".
Yes, for example :
"PRIVACY is a modern day SCAM!"
