deGoogling – Scope & Definition within the context of /e/OS

This article proposes to set the scope of the term ‘deGoogling’ as defined by /e/OS.

Ever since the first /e/OS ROM’s rolled out, the term ‘unGoogling’ and then ‘deGoogling’ has gained currency. The term is often loosely defined as a complete removal of all #Google related code from the #Android Smartphone operating system code base, leading to a dogmatic definition. This document seeks to correct some of these incorrect assumptions behind such ideas and instead attempts to focus on the expected benefits of #deGoogling.
