1. I don't have a personal vendetta against
@OnePlus. I even have a OnePlus as a personal phone. The HW is pretty good but they have pretty invasive practise in their SW.3 replies 3 retweets 40 likesShow this thread -
2. I investigated
@WikoMobile firmware 3 days ago and plan to do others OEM as well (Samsung, Lenovo, Huawei,...).1 reply 2 retweets 28 likesShow this thread -
3. Everything in my disclosures are based on facts. No supposition or hypothesis. I'm not a politician. Don't trust me, trust the fact. The code is available. Look at it and you can make your own opinion

4. I don't care about being "famous"
. I just want to pointed out these common practises in this industry. Today, YOU are the product. Your infos are collected and sold. Maybe you care, maybe you don't but people have to know it.1 reply 13 retweets 51 likesShow this thread -
5. If you are an Android developer, feel free to investigate OEM firmware too. Share it to everybody. This common practise has to stop.

6. For god's sake, it's not OK to know which apps are installed on my phone, which app I used the most, to log my GPS, BT, Internet traffic,... If it's fine for you ok but let people decide if they want to share their private life.

7. These practises violate laws. In theory, OEMs have to de anonymise the data they upload. They have to be unable to identify the user.

8. You can't hide between "I need it to improve my product". This is not how the product lifecycle of a phone is working. 0 "debug" apps have to be in the final release build
