Leading german newspaper the 'Süddeutsche' informs about data collection with smartphones
-
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.htmlNothing new really, but always nice to have some mainstream coverage of this.

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....
