Remember the day you went apple because they said they respected your privacy? Government couldn’t hack your phone ? WTH happened ? It’s like world has been taken over by body snatchers or something. Is just crazy.

I used to have android, but now use apple. The problem is they are both evil. Android is Google 100%. I'd wait until a linux alternative is available. I know Ubuntu had one years ago but I think it failed. Gab.com is talking about one (the CEO had a pic of a prototype the other day). I'd wait until something like that comes around otherwise you are just switching from a snake to a cockroach...

EDIT: Sorry, I was wrong. The ubuntu phone is out there. Not up to speed on it, or if they track you (ubuntu is a bit sketchy on some of that), but here's a recent article. Good luck!

Android is Linux.

You just need to install one without the Google bullshit.

Pinephone - bit to setup, but if you’re technical in nature, I recommend

They're both evil. However, the best you can do is buy a used phone or an older model and not give them extra money for new phones. And then use different aps and service providers for the actual service.

true, but well.... android is an free open source software.. that's why amazon put their own store on it

good thing about free(by license) open source is that you own a copy just as much as anyone else.. even the creator

so gab making a phone based on android means they own it and control it

Apple warns you if shits running in the background. All this shit about apple forcing updates? I haven’t seen a single one and that makes me go hnmm. Like homie said, both evil but extra fuck google.

No praise for google.

A warning for those who would mindlessly accept that choice.

Android also offers choice.

Look into a de-googled phone if you really want privacy.

If you have one of the later Google phones (Pixel), check out CalyxOS: https://calyxos.org/

Edit: Go here for more information about the Calyx Institute. They're huge supporters of online privacy, and also offer an unlimited LTE hotspot as part of their membership. https://calyxinstitute.org/
