Would you stick with Samsung if they moved their flagships to Tizen as long as it ran Android apps.

We know the government spies on us now, at the source or without Google's approval (maybe). Using a phone who's whole purpose is to suck data out of you is also pretty non controversial. So where's the need for conspiracy? The truth doesn't bother us much, and is strange as fiction.

Hey call me cynical, but i've said for years that Google is funded by governments.
Think about it.. the government try to introduce a snooping law and everyone kicks up a fuss, an infringement on our human rights, freedom of speech etc.
Yet we gladly use an android device all day long that's logging your whereabouts, tracking your movements, hosting your email, logging your browsing history and interests.
Google know more about you than you do yourself.

So I wonder ..... do the CIA have shares in Google/Android .... mmmmm

Of course they do. They have quite a bit. They have talked about that on the Android Central podcast.

Absolutely would abandon everything Samsung if they did that switch. And so would the majority of consumers because of how huge of a failure it would be.

Also, please try to refrain from spreading misinformation and conspiracy theories. The things going on with Samsung already have enough confusion and frustration without people pouring gas on it.

Edit to add that politics nonsense all belongs in the Politics section.
