      Android is AOSP, it has no Google at all. Don’t confuse OEM ROMs and Android Open Source Project. As someone with GrapheneOS I can only laugh when someone calls iOS more private

        I don’t confuse anything. All flavours of Android are secure systems, but that doesn’t mean they’re all private.

        I definitely agree with you that Graphene is more private than iOS, which is probably more private than most OEM Android systems out there.

            So, originally I simply stated that privacy and security aren’t the same, and that Android as a whole is very secure.

            And from this, you somehow extrapolated that I don’t know the difference between AOSP and OEM Systems?

            Enlighten me.

          When I hear Android, I think of Android. And that word encompasses everything imo. That’s how most people use the word in my experience.

          If someone means AOSP specifically, they’ll say AOSP

            exactly. i think the term ‘android’ should be used as an umbrella term only, like linux.

            “im running linux”

            yeah but what distro? same with android

          Exactly, but it’s inexcusable when a tech discussion happens. You either know it, or dare to shut up (not you precisely, though). Don’t be a hypocrite, only facts.
