How to be careful with #AI services for #privacy (all the information you give to them is saved and used to feed the machine):

This court case will be worth following:
even when their phones are turned off, #Google causes #Android devices to surreptitiously send information over cellular networks “for Google’s own purposes,” including targeted digital advertising.

#Privacy and #security focused de-googled phones ready for prime time:
When you take the best parts of Android and work to turn it into software built for users instead of financial gain, the results are amazing. With the release of /e/OS 3, it's reached the point where it's a good choice for everyone. #Android

A truly useful service Tosdr.org that summarizes Terms of Service and #Privacy Policy documents, and grades the services along the safe for use - avoid at all cost axis. My first thought was that it must be all AI, but Tosdr began more than 10 years ago.
