Devices are already riddled with backdoors imposed by federal authorities. The only real way to avoid them is to obtain a device not designed or assembled within the NATO block.
Incidentally, import of these devices has become increasingly difficult, on the grounds that these devices may have backdoors implemented by foreign governments.

this smells distinctly russian for some reason, anyway, just use open source software and hardware, the protection net while not perfectly, is entirely open, and theoretically, capable of perfect safety.

my brother in christ you literally referred to it as the NATO block.
What makes you think chinese devices don’t have backdoors for example? It’s also likely russian devices do, though idk how many if any they produce. We do know that russian malware often has a russian locale kill switch because apparently they’re a little silly like that.
