Android am Ende?

Hm, ich würd sagen, das hat System. Das System heißt Überwachungskapitalismus.

Klar, nur leider nicht nur bei Android. Die Standleitung von Apple nach Hause gefällt mir auch nicht.

Aral Balkan im Interview mit Euronews Turkey:

“There are things you can do. You can start to understand the difference for example between Apple which is again a trillion-dollar company, but has a different business model: they sell you a phone. When Apple sells you an iPhone – for a lot of money – and you buy it, they’re happy at that point. If you throw that iPhone into the bin and you never use it, Tim Cook is still happy – he made his profit.

“If you buy an Android phone and you throw it in the bin, Google is not happy because they haven’t made any money. It’s only when you turn it on, so they can start watching you, they can start profiling you, they can start manipulating your behavior, that’s when they start making the money.

“So, night-and-day difference in business model between two basically trillion-dollar companies. But Apple has a compatative advantage in privacy. So you can make a decision there. You can say say, OK, my next phone is going to be an Apple phone, not an Android phone because of this.”

Fazit: Es braucht ein OS mit vollständiger Kontrolle durch den User und ohne Versklavung und dies möglichst (sehr unwahrscheinlich) unabhängig und frei.

“Is Apple a long-term solution? No! It’s prioprietary, it’s closed. It’s still yet another American company that, you know, could go any way. You know, the next Tim Cook could not be a nice guy. Maybe the current one is, you know. But we need solutions where we don’t have to rely on benevolent kings.”

Das Interview gibt’s auf YouTube zu sehen, einer Tochter von Google – welch Ironie.
