The DOJ says they want to “interview” 100,000 people who downloaded a truck app as witnesses. But the government doesn’t interview innocent people about how they personally used a product the government says violated the law. You’re not a witness, you’re a defendant.
How are they getting your private purchase detail?! They are doing it without a warrant. They are forcing Apple, Google, Amazon and others to turn over your private purchase data. They are coming for you!
Just watched your “It’s Official. They Made You A Criminal.”
I’ll be looking into getting one of those EX Lynk devices.
That said, I no longer get my apps directly from Google. I use APKpure, Aurora Store and F-Droid. Or if I trust the provider, I download the APK directly from the person/organization that wrote it.
As for forfeiting your privacy rights when accepting the terms of service, If you salted your data in the first place, they would have nothing useful to turn over.
I always assume businesses will sell or give away my data regardless of what they officially or otherwise. So I created a junkmail account, that I freely give to any business or website and only check it when a site tells me they sent me a verification link.
Welcome in! And thank you for watching. It’s terrible that we have to assume that every company now is going to comply with privacy violations or sell our data!
Only Problem, Google is closing android. In september 2026 you can’t download a app that hasn’t signed Google contract and show his ID to Google. This means you can’t install a own created app without Google permissions
The restrictions are getting tighter and tighter… now, having an infosec background, I get a lot of these restrictions, but sometimes it just feels much more than necessary.
Hey there and welcome to the community!! Hope you enjoy it here.
I have not even heard of that one! I have spent a little time researching some privacy-strong phones, but definitely need to dedicate more time to it. Thank you for this choice to add!
saw a youtube video on it by jason hanson. everything he stated is true as is. has the kill switch and special pin on top of regular pin number to wipe phone clean at will.
It’s a US brand i guess. We got Fairphone for some years in the EU. It can be shipped with the privacy /e/OS. And it’s modular so you can repair parts easily. New battery, screen, etc. Great concept.
