    Android is AOSP, it has no Google at all. Don’t confuse OEM ROMs and Android Open Source Project. As someone with GrapheneOS I can only laugh when someone calls iOS more private

      I don’t confuse anything. All flavours of Android are secure systems, but that doesn’t mean they’re all private.

      I definitely agree with you that Graphene is more private than iOS, which is probably more private than most OEM Android systems out there.

          So, originally I simply stated that privacy and security aren’t the same, and that Android as a whole is very secure.

          And from this, you somehow extrapolated that I don’t know the difference between AOSP and OEM Systems?

          Enlighten me.

        When I hear Android, I think of Android. And that word encompasses everything imo. That’s how most people use the word in my experience.

        If someone means AOSP specifically, they’ll say AOSP

          exactly. i think the term ‘android’ should be used as an umbrella term only, like linux.

          “im running linux”

          yeah but what distro? same with android

        Exactly, but it’s inexcusable when a tech discussion happens. You either know it, or dare to shut up (not you precisely, though). Don’t be a hypocrite, only facts.
