@jorjitop This is a catastrophically ignorant statement.
The companies that do this tracking are third-parties, neither OS-makers, OEMs, nor carriers. Third parties gather and sell this information and sell it and do it on any device and the entire point is that it is done without user consent/knowledge (the entire point of surveillance).
In fact, if you had even read the article, Assange specifically mentioned the iPhone AND Blackberry. This is not platform specific. Why would governments and other agents want to exclude anybody from their surveillance/control?
Stupid.
