    It doesn’t move at all. If you’re hardware is compromised, then it doesn’t matter what apps or software you run, right? Its not under your control.

    So which phone has a libre baseband firmware?

      You don’t want us to do anything at all because we can’t have perfect privacy or freedom?

        No, we’re simply using the same logic as you and not letting perfect be the enemy of good. Telling people to use the built in app on the most popular platform because it has infinitely better privacy than all the apps with ads is objectively good advice. My grandma doesn’t know what f-droid is. She doesn’t even know what an operating system is. She also doesn’t know what a software license is.
