Ask HN: What do you intend to do about Apple's invasion of your privacy?
For those —like myself— who are upset about Apple's recent decision to share perceptual hashes of your phone's private content with a third party, what do you intend to do about it? Are people changing phones to opt-out, or installing custom ROMs?
It's been very heartwarming to see that a large part of the Hacker News community shares many of my concerns regarding what I feel is a very invasive overreach by Apple. For my own part, this has been the incentive to stop procrastinating and finally get myself a phone that can run a custom Android ROM. I know this doesn't solve all of the issues of privacy on mobile phones, however it is a move much more consistent with my ethics, given my own dislike of Google's business practices.
