> They are not a FAANG and don't have anywhere near their level of security expertise.

What a weird thing to say. Are you suggesting that it's fine that FAANG companies also spy on you mercilessly, because their security is ostensibly better?

When Google collects data about me, I’m relatively certain what I’d going to happen to that data — it gets folded into a bazillion models and is used to sell me shit. When Samsung collects data about me, I have absolutely no clue what happens next with that data. It’s not necessarily better or worse, but it’s a very different bit of privacy calculus you need to work through.

You may have forgotten the part where it's directly fed to the NSA. PRISM existed and still exists, and there is ongoing collaboration between every large tech company and the NSA.

I mean if SOMEBODY is going to spy on me I'd rather they have better security
