Comment on Introduction to Hardware Restrictions: Can You Trust Your Phone?

I’m not shilling for Android. I hate Android and I hate Google. Yet, I must use Android because the alternative is way worse.
I made the comparison with Apple because that was what the original comment said. Of course I hate Apple, just as I hate Google. I wouldn’t even touch an Android phone if it weren’t because they can be completely degoogled. iPhones can’t be deappled.
And yes, it requires technical knowledge and carriers’ devices are locked down. But as I said, it’s a possibility. Not for the common person, of course, but those who need or want it, will find that option.
