If “privacy friendly” or “secure” were regulated terms most linux distros would have been sued into bankruptcy for deceptive marketing.

Kinda think this would be entirely dependent on the imaginary regulations, so comments like this are essentially nonsense.

There are regulations, they are either inadequate or aren’t being applied to products or services used by regular consumers. support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/11062200
