[–] Yliaster 37 points 6 months ago (3 children) How do we defend our privacy on Android now? permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] jabjoe@feddit.uk 29 points 6 months ago (1 child) Privacy isn't really in their interest.

I'm not expecting Google to help, just hoping the resistance has something up its sleeve too. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] jabjoe@feddit.uk 5 points 6 months ago I'm basically am doing exactly this. But I'm only on GrapheneOS as I had to compromise on some closed apps that refused to run on LineageOS.
