Again, if the two endpoints are trusted and the communication method<br>
is trusted what's in between them (the provider) is irrelevant.<br>
<br>
Do I trust android? Depends who's phone, a phone constantly in my<br>
control that I know all software came from trusted sources and has<br>
some level of security sw installed yes, someone else's phone where I<br>
have no idea whether they went ahead and clicked "yes yes yes" on all<br>
kinds of programs from God knows where absolutely not.<br>
Sadly there is plenty of malware out there for Android which mostly<br>
relies on users installing software from untrusted sources.<br>
