My Android phone does not contain Google Play.  I prefer free
software: https://fsfe.org/campaigns/android/liberate.en.html

In addition to the NSA, Mike Perry’s post mentioned earlier in this
thread points to built-in backdoors:

While I’m using vulnerable software on vulnerable hardware, I still
want Tor to carry all my browser traffic when I choose so.
As I found out, that’s not as easy as it is supposed to be.

I see Tor as a tool against illegal mass surveillance and profiling,
not against targeted attacks and espionage.

Best wishes
Jens
