@koshkodanya@hachyderm.io @Fenrir@meow.social @shiftphones Androids CORE is open source, yes (hence called AOSP (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_(operating_system)#AOSP). But Google's additions ("GApps" & "GServices") are not, they are proprietary – and thus nobody but its devs can tell for sure what they really do under their hoods. Did you know its Google Services send a ping home every 30 seconds – 2 pings per minute, 2880 pings a day? Or what data is collected regularly and sent along? Not all of us are happy with that
