        Since the presentation claims about privacy, you should improve the information about location disactivation not affecting mobile providers from know cell towers you connect in 30 meters nearby.
        I know this obvious for many users but not all "normal" users

          @afxxi Your provider knowing your activity or location has nothing to do with privacy.
          That is a technical limitation.
          In order to deliver a pizza, the pizza restaurant has to know where you live.

          Privacy occurs when the delivery guy is snooping on your computer or into your pantry 🙂 .
          That would be a mobile OS that records your location and send it to their home servers...

              @applee OK, that limit (even if technical and not caused by Ubuntu) should be prompted, for example when you deactivate GPS. I think it's much more common you get tracked by cellular than by GPS.
              To answer your comparison, there is a little difference since pizza-deliv gets a point while antennas just a wider circle.

                I know it sounds obvious for developers. Anyway, "normal" people still seem confused, as you viewed during lockdowns, when providers noticed that 50% of mobiles kept moving from cells (even Sundays) ignoring to be tracked, I say.

                  What I wanted to say was that Ubuntu Touch brings back privacy to its users.
                  But privacy doesn't mean that Ubuntu Touch protects you from being spied on.

                  If someone is looking for such thing then we are not the solution. And we won't advertise on what Ubuntu Touch is not... The list is too long.

                  If your claim is UBports is advertising privacy when it is not, then I think it's false.
                  And neither I think we should specify that privacy excludes X,Y&Z because that's not the point.

                  Ubuntu Touch cannot help one to escape a totalitarian regime to spy on their citizens.
                  That is not the goal of UBports.

                  The goal is to give back control over our data and a choice regarding how we manage them.
