The jurisdiction in your pocket is different from the jurisdiction
in your home.<br>

<p dir="ltr">I'm sure there's a very good reason for this, but I
got into a discussion recently and realised I didn't have a
proper explanation for this. People's lives are increasingly
integrated with smart devices in their pocket and these devices
are now used by companies to track and profile everything we do
and say - even our geographical movements. What is the reason
for targeting plug servers instead of, say, common smart phones
that many people possess? These devices are increasingly
powerful computers. I suppose the quickest path would be to take
the existing open source Android code and build on top of that -
but I realise that would exclude all of those lovely Debian
packages. But there are mobile/ARM projects already out there in
the Debian world are there not?</p>
<p dir="ltr">In a nutshell, I was just wondering whether a
secure, private server in my pocket that protects my privacy
whilst I communicate would be more in keeping with current
trends than a server to plugin and access from home?</p>
<p dir="ltr">Probably I am missing something here - explanations
welcomed!</p>
