Now that iOS and Android are approaching technical maturity, new updates to these operating systems no longer feel revolutionary. The new stuff we get every year is boiling down to smarter notification handling, under-the-hood upgrades, screen notch adaptations, and “borrowing” good ideas from one another. As Google prepares to take the wraps off its next big iteration, Android P, at Google I/O 2018, I have an idea for an alliterative theme: make it Android P for Privacy.

Facebook’s data breach scandal has been the biggest tech story so far this year, forcing the company’s CEO to answer questions before Congress and the rest of us to consider the full extent of what we share with online services and the security of that personal information once it’s in their hands. This increased concern with privacy isn’t going to abate anytime soon, and Facebook won’t be alone in having to answer tough questions. Google, the world’s premier vendor of web services subsidized by user data, should be scrutinized just as closely as Facebook, because it endeavors to collect just as much, probably more, minutiae about its users’ lives in order to sell more valuable ads.
