It's a joke mentioning "Android" and "Privacy" in the same sentence.

Google can add whatever permission structure and features they way but as long as you, the owner and use of the service, is not allowed to set whatever permissions and/or remove whatever apps you like you do not have any privacy.

I've owned q Android phones as my personal phone since my first Galaxy S3 but I don't have any illusion regarding privacy as long as Google and Samsung are the true masters over my device.

For example...The devices sold today are fully capable of even firewalling on app level so that the user would be able to control exactly what hosts the Chinese app he/she installed is able to talk to.

But noooo.... Who would want such an feature?
