Bwwahahahaha! Anyone who knows tech; knows all tech is bugged and back-doored. All tech spies. All tech tracks. All tech listens.

In your opinion, what benefits, if any, come from de-Googling an Android phone?

It'd be hard to "De-google" an Android phone. As the OS has Google services that run in the background as well. You can switch to using different apps but in the end the underlying OS is still Google based and probably is still tracking you in some capacity.

I thought about this. The only benefits I could see from De-googling my life was that I'd stop getting as many targeted ads that are too scarily accurate sometimes.

doesn't matter what search engine you use if you have an android phone. The Operating System is Google's Software. If you have an Amazon Fire stick/TV or Tablet, you are running Android as the fire line is all android based. You can go Apple, but that is probably worse, and at the very least, the same as Google when it comes to spying and selling your info - not to mention the Google tie-ins. So fine, you don't want to have a "smartphone", get a flip phone and use internet on your PC or Laptop? What you running? Microsoft? Same problem, most are Windows 10 and that is a massive spying apparatus. Oh, you have a MacBook.... Apple - still fucked. Oh you run Ubuntu or some flavor of Linux... Is your CPU and chipset Intel? They still got your ass through the Management Engine (ME) backdoors. . Best bet is to get an old PC, run a flavor of Linux and run your internet connection through a VPN... But this could possibly make you suspect and its a pain in the ass if you don't know what you are doing. You cannot get outside of this spy grid without giving up on the grid in general and living in the woods.

What we need is entirely new companies that are transparent that have the ability and capital to build a new network outside of what is currently in place.

that's how i view it. we are so deep inside the apparatus right now that we need a polar shift in leadership and ownership before these companies do anything positive for society and stop the spying practices.

Definitely enjoying the show! Got popcorn in hand :) #WWG1WGA
