@[email protected] Which Android OEM do you think has better practices than Google? The idea that Google is a uniquely bad company is quite strange and not aligned with the reality of for-profit companies focusing on maximizing their profit and the vast majority not taking security seriously or even compromising between their interests and user privacy to even the extent Google does. Storing a bunch of data for targeted ads and not adding enough E2EE options is far from below average.
@[email protected] We aren't ever going to support insecure devices, so as long as other Android devices are insecure we're never going to be supporting them. It's not simply that they are less secure but flat out insecure without basic security features needed to protect people's privacy/security. A device where it's impossible for us to even protect users from very widely used exploits routinely used at borders, protests, etc. is not acceptable. We have security standards and they're reasonable.
