ANY PHONE WITH A CLOSED SOURCE BASEBAND IS NOT PRIVATE

/FUCKING THREAD

It wouldn't be "private" even it it was run on Libre software. The network design has the device pinging the nearest tower constantly, thereby generating a record of your movements. A free software solution would still have this problem unless you kept the modem turned of, and then there'd be no reason to carry a cell phone.
TL;DR there's no privacy on someone else's network.

>not using your old nokia dumbphone that never breaks no matter how many times you throw it at retarded (((smart)))phone users

>android runs on the Linux kernel

>Implying that Android = "Linux" in this context.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

>implying iPhone is any better than Android when it comes to privacy

It's not the system that spys on you it's the apps. You can install open source alternatives.

>implying accessing the web through a terminal based email client isn't suspicious

Welcome to 2017

Librem

Nope. The system needs to be de-googled as well. That's why Replicant. replicant.us/

No one said anything of the sort.
Also,
>accessing web through email client
lol wtf

M8 I specifically said "Linux kernel" I wasn't referring to GNU/Linux as an operating system and thus there was no need for that interjection.
