[USA] Which "send money to friends" service is the least bad, privacy-wise?
I know they’re all bad for privacy to an extent, which is why I specified “least bad.” This is for casual use, as someone concerned about surveillance capitalism, digital privacy, social cooling [https://www.socialcooling.com/] and the like. I do not have a high threat model. I am looking to balance privacy and convenience. I am not going to teach my grandma how to use monero, and it isn’t always a reasonable option to use cash or mail a check. The big services in the US I know of are: - PayPal: shares your data with 600+ companies [https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2018/03/the_600_compani.html] - Venmo: owned by PayPal - Apple Cash: Requires an Apple device, not an option for many - Google Pay: it’s Google, and it doesn’t work on custom ROMs like GrapheneOS - Facebook Messenger: apparently you can send money on there, but I think “there’s zero chance I’m making a Facebook account and I’m especially not linking my bank to it” needs no explanation in this community - Cash App: owned by Square, might be a decent option? - Zelle: Not supported by all banks (I don’t think it’s supported by mine and I definitely have friends that use unsupported banks) If anyone knows of better options, or tips to minimize shared data while using any of the above options, please elaborate.
It appears Google has stopped publishing device-specific source code for Pixel phones
As noted by the news release from CalyxOS [https://calyxos.org/news/2025/06/11/android-16-plans/] and Mastodon thread from GrapheneOS [https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/114661914197695338], Google did not release the Pixel device-specific source code alongside their Android 16 AOSP release like they usually do. I think many of us, including myself, are hoping this will be published in the near future, but considering they moved AOSP development behind closed doors earlier this year [https://9to5google.com/2025/03/26/google-android-aosp-developement-private/], it’s more likely Google has stopped publishing this section or their code altogether, making development of custom ROMs for Pixel devices significantly more difficult. Sad news for the Android ecosystem, and for open source in general.
