Say I have Google Camera installed with network permissions revoked. Say I also install Play Services which does have network access. Would Google Camera be able to share data about my pictures to Play Services which would then phone home to Google?

I'm a little bit too late 🤪

I personally don't use anything of google, browsing and trying apps from fdroid, and have obtainium for the ones I usually use

But Graphene's approach is all about security, and privacy only after it So they recommend the most secure options first, and don't recommend minor options So, their current opinion on fdroid that it's less secure than googlag's store, so a more secure option would be googlag, or that second store that has 3 apps in it

But it's for "marketplace" apps, so obtainium not in the scope, but kinda should be (we just need to rethink where we get our apps from)
