   Hi T,   
      
   Serious _adult_ question (where facts are what matter).   
   o Not marketing bullshit   
      
   What's our option, on mobile devices, for privacy other than Android?   
      
   More to the adult technical point, what's to stop anyone from setting up   
   Android for privacy any more than setting up their Windows web browser for   
   privacy?   
      
   It's just a (complex) set of settings (just as it is with Windows).   
   o But the adult point is that it _can_ be done on Android.   
      
   For example, on Android, you don't even need to set it to a Google Account,   
   so there isn't any Advertiser ID at all (it simply doesn't exist).   
      
   Back to the adult question of you, which requires your knowledge of facts   
   (not marketing bullshit)...   
      
   Of the two main consumer mobile device platforms, which do you think can be   
   set up for privacy and which cannot (and why)?   
   --   
   HINT: I know the factual answer to that question - where I don't bullshit   
   and where I check marketing claims for accuracy and can back up my facts.
