Eyes Up’s purpose is to “preserve evidence until it can be used in court.” But it has been swept up in Apple’s attack on ICE-spotting apps.

    Oh no, we can’t have ethical smartphones so we are forced to fund the worst corporations that exist 😢

    I guess I’ll just go buy an overpriced piece of tech crap locked in a shitty proprietary environment that doesn’t respect any of my rights…

      Uh, that would have been a good argument back when flagship models didn’t cost more than the latest iPhones. Unless you’re buying something other than Samsung though, you’re paying more than $2k for something that soon won’t even be able to side-load apps.

      The gap between Android and iOS is closing as fast as Google can build the wall around their garden.

        The person I was responding to was declaring that their choice to use an Android based phone makes them a more ethical consumer, and therefore a better person, then iPhone users.

        That’s an absurd position, which was what my comment was highlighting.

        What makes you think I buy flagships?

        Also who cares about their gap, Linux phones are the next stop now.

      How about you just don’t act high and mighty and pretend that your personal consumer choice of using an Android based OS somehow make you more ethical then those who use an iPhone.

        No, the thing here is that whenever one calls out company X then its fanboys will be like “company Y is worse”.

        Which is absurd because X and Y don’t care about any of you.
