    I’m glad these exists, but remember that these only work as long as device manufacturers don’t lock the bootloaders.

    Your country’s government could pass a law that requires bootloaders to be locked for “national security” reasons, and there’d probably not be much resistance since most people don’t even use custom roms. (Looking at you, USA and the autocratization)

    Lmao tankie.

    Surveillance happens on every device in the world, I was talking about device-level Censorship which does not happen in the west, not yet at least.

    I can look up the gaza war and the genocide happening there just fine. What device do you even use that doesn’t allow you to read about the gaza war?

    Oh wait maybe don’t answer, I don’t want your mind to explode doing mental gymnastics.

      The irony of a comment about censorship being censored is really something.

        I had a friend paraphrase the plot of fahrenheit 451 for me, because I haven’t read it. Talk about ironic!

        On another note, I need to read more

    I feel like that’s a honeypot, kinda like that time feds made a phone to spy on cartels.

    In the c/Privacy community, people say e/OS isn’t as secure as Graphene OS. Although e/OS has better privacy compared to googled android, but apparantly worse security (late security patches).

  “It Can’t Happen Here”

  Unironically a good book about fascism happening in the US, and was written before 1984 and other dystopian novels that were largely reactionary to the USSR.
