The Apple iPhone was protecting its users against FaceBook call scraping and SMS data mining which Android did not. Video included. —PING!

Not being on Facebook in the first place protects you completely.

Facebook scraped call, SMS data for years from Android phones.

And my wife snickered at me for not allowing Facebook or Yahoo on my Android phone.

Of course Apple is not known to be exactly perfect in protecting their customers data either.

Google circumvented Apple's Safari privacy settings in 2011 and is now to pay compensation

There is no privacy on the internet. The illusion of privacy, much like the illusion of security, is just that - an illusion.

Apple turned off the use of tracking cookies in their browser by default but then failed to lock that setting down from third party access which allowed Google to change it to their preferred setting - i.e. wide open.

Trust no one. Android. Apple. Facebook. Google. Your data is very important to them. Your data privacy - not so much.

A better solution for Fakebook scraping phone calls and texts: don’t install Fakebook.

Yet another reason I won’t ever get an Android device (as much as I’d like to). A years old OS, without regular updates, is simply unacceptable.

I can understand why people would not want an Apple device believe me. But until anyone can convince me Android devices are just as secure, I’ll unfortunately ha entire keep buying Apple. (I can’t use a simple flip phone it’s impossible to work professionally).

Facebook claims they have Android users’ permissions to collect all these data...
