It should be obvious that anyone who says “I’m concerned about privacy, so I’m going to switch to using Google products!” is not a serious person.
If you’re actually going to switch to using open source hardware phones and whatnot, then good luck I guess. I can see where more progress in that area would lead to general improvements, so it’s not entirely tilting at windmills.

- Popegaf 5y agoLineageOS and GrapheneOS are as close as you can get to freedom and privacy on your phone while keeping lots of features. Open hardware + software phones are in the budding stage so people investing in them and using them right now are trail-blazers - not everybody wants to be one. Therefore Android phones with custom ROMs are the way forward for privacy conscious people. It's easy to mock if you aren't serious about getting away from walled gardens.
- fartcannon 5y agoYou're looking directly at an example of Apple not caring about privacy and you still can't see it. Apple does not care about your privacy. They care about your money.
