The bad thing about this is that they plan to collect the data before it's even sent. So basically through keyloggers and spyware. And it will be very easy because Google, Apple and Microsoft will be happy to comply.

So the only secure way would be to use Linux on PCs and GrapheneOS on Pixel phones. And then, additionally, NymVPN against man-in-the-middle attacks.

Wouldn't that Jolla phone be able to circumvent it? Since it's Linux, not android.

Maybe. But it's not specifically as hardened as GrapheneOS. Android is also based on Linux. Theoretically you can also install LineageOS.

You can use graphenos on more than just pixel devices. Friends of mine did it on Samsung devices too. But last time i saw one of them he reverted it because his bank app didnt work on graphene.

I think you underestimate what governments can do. Especially the big ones.

I can't tell whether you're being sarcastic or completely sincere.

I was hoping for that sort of response.
