Privacy vs Freedom

What will you choose and why?

(I know, I know, it depends on situation/context. Still choose one.)

freedom ... although both go hand in hand 😅

Can you really have 1 without the other?

@C0D4 In a real world, yes.

Android - Freedom, no privacy
iPhone - Privacy, no freedom

@mojo2012 They should but in a real world, they don’t. A person needs to make a choice.

If I can only have 1, I'll take my privacy.

As for your phone analogy, Apple just makes it hard, but not impossible.

@Cyanide Android can have both Privacy and freedom if you use Custom ROM

@C0D4 Fair enough.

@theabbie So..

Privacy and Freedom vs Convinience?

@Cyanide Convenience too depends on level of intelligence, we can easily customise phones to our benefit, most people can't, So, it's actually, Intelligence Vs. Money.

@theabbie Can you just stay in the rant’s context?

Privacy vs Freedom

What would you do with your freedom if you don't have privacy? Suck someone's dick off in public because you can? And vice versa, with privacy and no freedom, will you cry in your room because no one is allowed to suck you off? One without the other is useless, it's always about finding the balance for the given situation and external circumstances.

Or as someone once said, only a Sith deals in absolutes.

@Cyanide Freedom in context of iPhone is restricted to prevent Fuck ups by users, Less Freedom means less chances of Privacy hazards, Most people make a choice between them for their own convenience, it's not a binary choice, you can have both, people don't want both.

Privacy in reallife, freedom in the internet.

(Yes, your phones aren't reallife.. like knowing your current location for example is not an invasion of privacy, the fucking landlord and your mom know where you are, too. Get fucking real.)

@Cyanide apple still uses you data, except it’s only for them, so not quite privacy.

Freedom, why? because it allows me to enforce privacy.

If I have all the freedom to do anything I want, I can get rid of anything that invades my privacy.

Software that invades my privacy? I can remove the privacy-invading parts.

Someone that invades the privacy of my home? I can make them leave (either peacefully or not-so-peacefully).
