Android depends on who gave it to you. If you install Linux from a parking lot flash drive it doesn't mean the Linux project is compromised, it means you got pwned.

I'd make the same argument about installing pre-compromised pirated windows but...windows kinda just is malware now.

There is zero adware in Android (AOSP). Unfortunately manufacturers tend to install Gooogle Play Services, which compromises the whole device.

..... Not really. And also no.

The Android kernel is a modified version of a Linux kernel, yes.

"Android is compromised" is a very, very silly statement.

It's actually scary how wrong you are while being so confident. It's not even just wrong but also so incredibly dumb. Doesn't matter if you're drunk or not, you're clearly an ignorant fucking idiot.

I mean they said "unless you're using stuff that's supremely sketchy and also installing things you shouldn't be"
