Considering Google's malicious treatment of user privacy data by sharing with the NSA/US government, collecting private data and selling to advertisers and using our phones and other devices as geographical /map calibration tools I can safely say:
NO OREO DOES NOT PROTECT YOUR DATA FROM THE BIG GUYS

What's the point when the majority of Android are on Kitkat+Lollipop? Google should just stop announcing every new Android releases, and just do silent updates (ala Google Chrome).

Nicely timed article, just updated my Mate 9 today.

Have they implemented some way to protect our data from Google, Facebook and the other major data sweepers?
