The whole trend of teens rejecting phones for dumbphones is making sense now. If you can't fight big mainstream technology, then fuck big mainstream technology!

    I'm gonna snag another used Oneplus phone that has decent community love and keep rolling custom roms until Google stops me.

    ...and once they stop me(in ten years or so), a dumphone with tethering and a secondary device. And if they implant a chip into my brain, I'll go luddite, live in the woods, read poetry and eat mushrooms.

    and then it's even worse, you go through sms which is even less confidential

    ...In a way yes, in a way no. A phone that's SMS and Calls only has a few advantages. One is that other apps can't spy on SMS because there aren't other apps to spy on the SMS. The SMS vulnerabilities en-route still exist, sure, but you're no longer being monitored by Apple, Google or anyone else by default.

    Sure, the ideal situation is for all of them to get on Signal, XMPP, Briar, SimpleX... fucking roll a D20. They're also more about it due to screen-on time than privacy. I don't think they're of any belief that privacy is even attainable.
