Motorola is a major supplier of communication equipment for the IDF and produces bomb fuses used in IDF’s bombs. It also donated money to Project 2025.

All the major companies have too many ghosts, and will do things I do not like.
I really want to support more ethical organizations

do you mean Motorola Solutions or Motorola Mobility(the one Lenovo ones)?

The good one is the one shipping Google spyware and not updating their devices.
The funny part is that’s actually the least bad thing they’ve done.

Motorola Mobility was spun off from Motorola in 2012 and sold to Google. Then Google sold it in 2014 to Lenovo, the Chinese company.
Original Motorola, renamed Motorola Solutions, retained the rights to the Motorola name in everything except cell phones, and continued to manufacture radio and communications equipment and other signal processing equipment (including stuff like cable TV boxes). They remain a major contractor for militaries, law enforcement, and fire/EMS emergency responders.
If we’re talking about Motorola cell phones, we’re talking about the Chinese owned company, not the American owned company.

Oh man I never realized there was a separate non-phone Motorola company that remained where it was. Thanks for the explanation.

Thank you for educating me.
Now I can simply not buy their devices because they suck.
