Sure, but then you are also not funding Google's competition in order to help improve choice.

Buying second hand might make you feel better because you didn't directly fund Google, but you're still helping them maintain their position.

    «Funding competition» means giving money to Chinese State companies, for most consumers.

    Most of the american companies are using Chinese manufacturing for much of the devices. Fairphone is European, but same manufacturing sources.

    In 2026, as a Canadian... Choosing between a country that is adopting nazi practices and threatening us with annexation, and one who has a questionable history but is overall doing more for climate change and global stability right now than the other... The choice is easy. Anything but american.
