All android phone are definitely sending data to United States. Why is sending data to one country better than sending data to another?<p>For US citizens, this might be irrelevant (not so much if we go by the leaks). But for everyone living anywhere else on the globe, owning a smartphone means usually owning an endpoint for one of the giant corporate data sinks which its government can easily access.<p>I understand that it is the price I have to pay for a free (sic) OS and play services. But I use it because of a lack of viable libre and open alternative.<p>And I have about as much choice as someone in the market for a decent quadcopter unwilling to send data to China.
