I think that’s q bit overblown. You have an option to use a Murena account in place of a Google account. I just said no thanks and everything works perfectly fine with no services affected. In terms of security of privacy of the Murena account itself, no idea. Never used one.

Nope that’s just FUD from certain other OS developers who are super toxic against literally everyone

I thought eOS wasn’t trust worthy? I can’t remember why though

…seriously? Why do you even repeat it then? The least you can do if you don’t want to fuel rumors is to :

• either ask a genuine question, rather than suggest the answer

or, IMHO better, actually

• take just few minutes to find the claim, one way or another, so that at least people can clarify, either confirming what you found or rather explain why it’s no correct.

I bet you are referring to https://lemmy.ml/post/35472063 simply because it’s relevant recent and (sadly) quite popular… but unfortunately you can read my response, incorrect. OP there has their opinion (they clearly don’t like Murena and /e/OS and prefer alternatives, perfectly fine) but unfortunately, and that’s what honestly piss me off, make claims that are just not true. You can check the details there. Now is it trust worthy or not, that’s up to you, just don’t imagine that Murena services are mandatory in /e/OS based on that posts because (as others in this thread also confirmed) it is just a lie.

They gave private voice recordings to Open AI if I remem correctly.
