Yeah but you still get spied on by the NSA either way cause Android belongs to Google and Google is just as deep in bed with the intelligence agencies and the security state as Apple is. This is like saying that getting stabbed is better than getting shot. Sure one is marginally more preferable to the other but both kinda suck. The reason why you pick Android over Apple is just to avoid being stuck in the proprietary hellscape of Apple. You don't have to deal with bullshit like Apple only apps, Apple only hardware, etc.

It is a little bit of clickbait, but he actually says that you need to use Graphene OS to be more secure, and that Android with Google is basically the same as Apple.
