The screenshots were for "recent apps" navigation, they weren't being uploaded anywhere, apps can set "FLAG_SECURE" to prevent it, the device was rooted, and the files were "...inaccessible to most apps, except those to which I grant root access." ?

So condemn the working conditions of the company then. What does that have to do with his personal act of charity? Sure, charitable donations are tax deductible, but you say that this equates to "...truly the most selfish public display of giving..."? Why is the assumption that a wealthy person is only capable of charity for tax benefits? As if he needs the tax deductions to retain his wealth? As if he personally mistreats employees? Imperfect people are capable of honest charity.
