ubuntu-phone team mailing list archive

[Art <ky1k@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is no different than google refusing to allow you to use their 
software unless you have a google account....or google refusing to let 
you download from the playstore unless you have a google account. Or, 
yahoo refusing to allow you access to their mailing lists unless you 
have a yahoo account.

In the case of facebook, they don't give a rats tail about a few 
ubuntu-phone users. All they see is that your phone doesn't respond 
'normally' and since they can't harvest personal information on behalf 
of them and their partners, they aren't allowing you to use their services.

Speaking for myself, I am interested in ubuntu-phone because I dumped 
microsoft in 2011 and use ubuntu on my laptop everyday. I believe that 
what's on my computer is mine and no one else's, and the ubuntu-phone 
brings the  privacy and security one step closer to realization.

I dumped google, even their search engine. I don't use yahoo, facebook, 
twitter, linkedin, yahoo or other services that demand that I compromise 
my security or privacy.

I'm new to the list and look forward to the day when I can dump android 
in favor of ubuntu-phone.

Regards,

A
