Apple is one of the biggest liar in term of privacy, juste watch some of their ads to see the “privacy focused” company as they said :
That’s really a joke to see the apple logo at the end. They don’t about YOUR privacy, they car about THEIR profit.
No no no, mass surveillance or global surveillance means a surveillance at the world scale meaning that all the people from everywhere would be watched. They just want to gain datas about everyone, to one day maybe use it. Cover leaks, cover several things… For sure today you will not be under the control of a foreign gov but tomorrow if they need to they could track you to achieve their goals.
With the case of Discord, you probably should know that in China the big companies are really related to the Chinese gov. Take the case of Tencent and search online for share owned by the gov. That’s all. Datas trough Discord are not safe at all.
You should know that in this world most of the governments want to extand their “power” (in fact it’s the good world), by knowing all the stuffs that are happening in the world they gain some superior knowledge. Why do states are willing to do mass surveillance, to use security cameras, etc… It’s not to have more “citizens” but to gain more power
I’m not using Brave and I don’t like it. Personnaly if you’re on desktop or laptop just use Firefox (Waterfox for soft-privacy browser, Librewolf and Mullvad for better one). Brave is firstly based on chromium, have a relation with crypto. Not my browser of choice and will never recommend it to anyone.
For currency converter you can use Converter NOW, most of the clocks can show 2 différents times but for the widget don’t know sorry (using mlauncher NO widgets.), for the weather use Breezy.
You should use an offline navigation map that’s always useful where you’re not in a known country and for me that’s all.
EDIT : a good messenger like SimpleX
Here we go, the beginning of the privacy’s end
