Your data is YOUR data!
An iPhone or an Android smartphone collects several megabytes of your personal data every day to Google Servers, even when it is inactive.
Murena smartphones have been designed to offer a different approach to users who care about privacy and data-hungry handsets.
Those smartphones are running the open-source “/e/OS” operating system, which is fully “deGoogled”: by default it doesn’t send any data to Google and it’s been designed to offer a great and natural user experience.
/e/OS is paired with carefully selected applications. They form a privacy-enabled internal system for your Murena smartphone. And it’s not just claims: open-source means auditable privacy.
I can’t find the sources (still looking) but there one that /e/OS have trackers on their emails every time they sent one and most of the apps on their store are outdated
Apparently, the sources are here: https://gitlab.e.foundation/e
You’re right though, I couldn’t find the link anywhere on their website. I had to go to the forum where somebody asked
Would like to see some sources if you got them. Currently use /e/os and would like to do more research.
Here you go
Ok, what is divestos.org, and what is this page, and how does it relate to /e/OS? where does it say /e/OS
apps have trackers(edit: see replies) has privacy issues, and what evidence are they showing? Not saying it isn’t true, but what are we looking at?Also I didn’t say their app have trackers but their newsletters have trackers and the apps are sometimes outdated for short amount of time (like months)
Right, sorry. Still, most companies do this (e.g. emails from my bank) and you just need to block remote images. Still, from a company that makes privacy one of their selling point …
Divest OS is a fully open source android distribution for older and newly phones. And the newsletter may contain trackers as stated here.
Ok so, DivestOS is a completely different project than eOS … So how does it relate with privacy issues with eOS and e.foundation? is DivestOS a fork or eOS, or … ?
Is Divest OS was pointing out the different of other OS like Lineage OS, Grahpene OS, and that French OS. Divest OS was comparing their security, updates, source code and other things to other OSes which states here
Ok, this link now explains what we are looking at, and who is making these claims. thanks
Interesting, but the textfile is now 9 month old and eOS brings regularly (monthly) updates! If you forward the suggestions to them it could maybe be helpful to them, you could probably file pullrequests. I think they’re improving.
