 On the Simple Mobile Tools debacle

This note has been long in the making, but it really hits close to home. Back when I decided to #degoogle and root my #android devices, a consistent set of Contacts and Calendar apps were not a given. So I settled on the Simple Mobile Tools alternatives regardless of my choice of #ROM at the time.

But then Simple Mobile Tools sold off to the #israel malware industrial-complex, boycotting my #privacy and #security efforts. If you think that is an over-statement consider the elephant in the room:
