LineageOS is not private (upload.wikimedia.org)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by FarLine99@lemm.ee to c/privacy@lemmy.ml
 

WHY? I've heard a lot that LineageOS cannot be called a private system. That it is more about extending the life of old devices. Can you tell me specifically point by point why it is not private? And I'm sure it's better than stock phone firmware in terms of privacy.

Privacy should never be the target of the core rom. Security is it. That's the reason I use grapheneOS.

A ROM can be the best privacy by default one, it's useless if the user puts gapps and tiktok etc. on it, afterwards.

it's not useless, because... At least the system isn't watching you. but Google services - yes, kill all privacy.
