[Alexander <ubuntuone@xxxxxxxxx>]

So  for  now we have at least two critical privacy (!) issues with the
Ubuntu  Phone.  I  really  hope  there  are  no  mandatory cloud-based
services  coming anytime soon, otherwise it's just better to switch to
Apple products directly (no privacy, but OS is stable).

Canonical, please consider that some of the users backing Ubuntu Phone
do  this  mainly  because  of  the privacy problems in Apple/Google/MS
products.
