• they advertise themselves as degoogled, but instead let you connect to Google/Microsoft/etc services

  • replace all the proprietary not at all Secure Services from Google, with… Drumroll please… Proprietary and not at all Secure Services from themselves and actively encourage it.

  • They are For-profit

  • and being MORE out of date then even Fairphones stock roms.

But a TL;DR:

/E/ is not Private. They just switch one bad comany to another one.

    Yes, /e/ have a business model and I never liked it in the first place. They made plenty of similar choices over the years.

    Personally, I would have known what I’m getting into had I chosen their OS, but many people just take the self-praise at face value, so this is important.
