The most common argument used in defense of mass surveillance is ‘If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear’. Try saying that to women in the US states where abortion has suddenly become illegal. Say it to investigative journalists in authoritarian countries. Saying ‘I have nothing to h...

Why ? Just why ?
I completely agree with you. I think people downvoting me because "fuck Google" when in fact, hardware wise, is the best available to achieve privacy and security.

Nice to see it!
If you call 'client-side scanning' something like 'upload moderation,' it still undermines privacy, security
Luckily GrapheneOS has a duress passowrd feature. Very useful for these situatuons!

It's been far too long since I've made time to sit down and write. I recently went through the ritual of swapping phones, so I will use the opportunity to jot some notes down. I keep separate devices for work and personal usage. For the last several years, my personal

I personally blocked him and it was one of the best decision of my digital life. He's basically wasting his life spreading misinformation about GrapheneOS. He's simply too much to handled for my mind. Without seeing him, i feel this place is much more relaxing and useful to see it.
I think this question has some sort of relativity. What is your threat model ? Are you trying to protect your data from the service itself, fromyour mom, from the police ? You want anonimity ? And so on.
There is no an ultimate answer to this question. For example, i'm using WhatsApp because it fits my threat model (messages are encrypted, metadata is not but for me is fine). Then, i use Signal with people that use Signal (where i live, 99% of people use WhatsApp).
I would never use Telegram since is not encrypted by default.
If i was you, i would buy a Google Pixel 8 (8a is cheaper than 8 and 8 pro). They all provide support for GrapheneOS, have 7 years of updates, MTE, and so on

Yes you can! Your offline backup is inside the app data (you need a file manager to access the folder). If you use a Samsung Device, i think you won't be able to see it unless you plug the phone on your PC.
Hi! One thing you could consider is using GrapheneOS which supports Android Auto without special priviliges!
Hi! I know this option doesn't respect the second point of your list. That beijg said, if i was you i would buy a Google Pixel 7 or 8 and then i would put GrapheneOS on it!
Hi! While your idea is understandable, i think we have to think about one thing: what about other vendors ? It's not like Samsung, Xiaomi, Fairphone etc. run on open source hardware. If you use any smarthpone, you have to accept you'll use closed source hardware. That being said, if we speak about hardware quality Google Pixels are the best ones, that's because you can install an alternative operating system without compromise the device's security. It does not make sense to go "fuck Google" and then buy another smartphone which came from a company that does the extact same thing - spy on you - but without the possibilty to install an alternative OS.
As a second thought, i think the theory "Google puts backdoors on Pixels to spy on users" has a big fallacy: Google already do that, but with a clear and legal privacy policy (photos, documents, backups, contacts, messages, emails, search history, location history and so on -- they can literally see everything about you). So, why they should do something illegal ? And for what purpose ? People put all their life on a service which does not encrypt anything, and if police needs data they can ask google and Google will give data to them. No backdoor needed.
Now, i'm not defending Google, of course. I'm just saying, hardware wise (and if you think about using an alternative privacy oriented OS) Google Pixels are the best choice.
A lot more has to put regarding this topic, but i don't have time to give you more information, i'm sorry :(
