    It being sandboxed doesn’t prevent it from doing whatever the fuck it wants within the confines of the sandbox, and that sandbox has to be pretty wide to be functional.

    Like, which is worse:

    • An os that ships with an opt-in kinda privacy unfriendly locked behind a paywall.

    • An os that ships google play services, which you need to give all sorts of permissions for apps to function, and requires a google account.

    To quote you:

    They claim to be private. They incorporate a non private Service even though there are valid alternatives. Thats where this discussion starts and ends.

    See how that applies to graphene shipping google play services instead of microG?
