Update claims about privacy

[KTibow]

Describe your suggested feature

Right now, the points about predictive text in the README overgeneralize. They don't apply to all readers:

• None of the points apply to Gboard. It uses federated learning, so it can only learn a phrase if hundreds use it. Each user's update can't be inspected or identified.
• Some of the points apply to SwiftKey. It originally didn't have an option for ad personalization, but now it does, and it's activated if you a. sign in with an account b. opt in to it. I can't say much more since their help page, while explaining how their improvement is privacy preserving, doesn't mention this setting.

I would recommend changing them to focus on specific examples, like how SwiftKey personalizes ads with your data or how Samsung sends data to market research firms, instead of hyperboles like "phone keyboards are keyloggers" or "if it has predictive text, it's profit-driven and privacy-offending".

Other details

IMO discussions are better hosted on a platform that doesn't require manual approval

According to who, google? Can you link the source code to prove this? If you're going to link to google's public docs, that counts as "just trust us".

You can open a PR to give some concrete examples of keylogging, but unless you work at google or one of these companies, and want to link the gboard source code to prove that its not keylogging, I'm not going to trust it.
