About NSA and etc. Things go way deeper than many even think. It's way beyond Google and co. already.
See http://www.theguardian.com/world/201...e-surveillance

I dont say NSA is something I like. But thing is most people are stupid *****s and dont care. They will continue to use facebook, buy android phones etc...

And about FOSS not possible. Yes I take that back, some companys can, but thats way different sectors than mobile/embedded markets where you depends on alot more manufactors to realese FOSS drivers etc.. As I already has stated in an old post: Jolla is to small get drivers or write FOSS drivers themself.

Jolla has to have another bussines plan if they want to be fully open. Licensing SailfishOS if fully open source will def not work.
