    Open source software like GrapheneOS is the only software you should ever trust to not be government spyware.

    I've been on GrapheneOS for years now, and I still don't trust anyone 'not to be government spyware'. I believe they are not bending to governments right now, but the way this is going, it wouldn't surprise me if they end up being coerced to introduce backdoor at some point. I'm not saying that the GOS team would willingly do something like that, I am saying that, in this time we're living in, this is not outside the realm of possibility.

    Im preparing to, if necessary, move my personal life entirely out of the reach of the internet eventually, because at the speed these legislation and laws are being passed, anything connected will be a straight shot into our deepest thoughts.

    Meanwhile, I'll remain on GrapheneOS, CachyOS and ProxMox as long as they can be kept private.

    Apple has done a fantastic job surrounding their privacy reputation. Problem is, they absolutely bent the knee and kissed the ring.

    The only way out is either going with custom roms on an android or a Linux phone, … anything along those lines (you know, IT stuff that let’s you actually do stuff). Or don’t participate.
