Do we really need a Google account or an Apple account for our phones?

📌Don't you think is invasive?

[Nik1hil]

No,

See blank Phones with Just Boot system are available online for sale..

You can buy those and then install Operating System of your choice..

Google OS require Google account, apple OS required Apple account, windows OS require Microsoft account.

OS like Debain or Kali Linux do not require accounts.. They are open source on Github.

You can use Those OS, they just don't market themselves only people good in Tech know these exists and use them..

You can Root your Phone remove their OS and install any other that you like.. But forget other available functions that Apple or Google provide, you will also need to disable their Services!..

I did this with one of my Old laptops Windows was too hot to handle, So I removed it Switched to Debian..

My tech guys and Cybersecurity guys say "Kali Linux" is best.. Get rid of everything, then install Kali-Linux then clear certain cache and data.. Then go with a Cmd command line : npm-updates-run (wrong command cannot give right command here) and then your Hardware is 100% secure.

After Kali-Linux update any software you run, Run it using secure 3rd party Sandbox or VM Virtual machine. And any Network work, use a D. V. P. N of

And Use Tor network Onion-routing, a properly Configured Tor Browser.

Use "DUCK Duck Go" Search Engine and I am sure you will be safe and Sound!..

Basically you cannot get attacked virtually, even if they attack you virtually, there will be nothing they can get their hands on!..

I mean but you still need a Google account to download google store apps, and an apple account to download apps available in Apple.

" You can Root your Phone remove their OS and install any other that you like.. But forget other available functions that Apple or Google provide, you will also need to disable their Services!.."

When I said "Functions" it means software and services.. 🙄

[DiegoO]

That's the point of my question. Why they are forcing people to create exclusively a Google account or an Apple account. Forcefully many open an account to use one of the many services of those big tech companies.

I think it should be more free.

[Nik1hil]

They aren't forcing, it's their product they have right and freedom to design it the way they like it. 3 major issue -

1) Government ensure they design it this way, so both them and government can manipulate and control illegal activities.

2) if they don't design it like the government wants, such products cannot be marketed or sold in their nation.
Did you heard about Kali-Linux or Debian until now?
You use chrome and Google search engine, while, Brave + duck duck go can give you same results..

3) Majority of public is weak at tech, so they need simple interface, which is why people themselves sell their freedom for comfort. They aren't willing to work hard and learn, CMD or computer languages, forget language they wouldn't know difference between high level and low level language..

They have 6 hr to watch a sports game, but not 6 hrs to finish a book or a computer language.. Like the saying goes..

"If you don't willing sacrifice what you can today, Tomorrow you will, unwilling end up sacrificing what you cannot."..

Valid points!

[Nik1hil]

Thanks for the MHO 👍💯

[DiegoO]

No👍

[OlderAndWiser]

It certainly is very reminiscent of Big Brother!

[DiegoO]

You understood my point 👍

[OlderAndWiser]

Thanks for MHO!

[DiegoO]

Np👍

[jshm2]

Yes.

How the fuck are you expecting to access the Apple ecosystem without an Apple ID?

As for Google, they OWN the rights to Android, so anything using it is going through them.

You must be new to the city from the farm you were homeschooled in, and don't understand how digital platforms work.

[DiegoO]

I know how it works. My question is, why do we really need to open a Google account or Apple account, to access something basic as downloading an app?

[menina]

They already know about everything we do with our phones. So I guess it makes no difference. 🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️

[Nikki1989]

You don't need Google or anything to do with Apple, including their overpriced, garbage phones.

all my stuff is on it
