        The Süddeutsche starts today with a large campaign to inform people how and which data is collected by smartphones. Only in german available: https://projekte.sueddeutsche.de/artikel/digital/digitale-privatsphaere-ueberwacht-und-verkauft-e784992/

          Seems to be related to the NYT article:
          https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/12/19/opinion/location-tracking-cell-phone.html

          Nothing new really, but always nice to have some mainstream coverage of this.

          Fairphone 5 (Not yet installed UT on it though)

            If there's a comments section under either article, perhaps you could mention ubports's UT, as an OS that specifically cares about privacy and is very concerned not to collect any data.

              If Halium would be working and if people can install UT on a large set of (even old) smartphones - I would write a message to Süddeutsche. But until only 'some' phones are available.... Hmm ;/ UT has some time left I would argue....
