And <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>privacy</span></a> with a <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/megacorp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>megacorp</span></a> that scans your pics?</p><p>Google of course is even worse. Therefore: <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/Fairphone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fairphone</span></a> running <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/FairphoneOpenOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FairphoneOpenOS</span></a> or <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/LineageOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LineageOS</span></a>.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/Teracube" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Teracube</span></a>'s an option, too. It's a bit cheaper and also supports <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/Lineage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Lineage</span></a>, but Fairphone has a longer track record, more transparency and the overall better product from my experience.</p>
