There are mch more ethical companies than google to buy phones from, like Fairphone.

And "wayyy" less secure is very debatable. There a some security features missing, but still more than secure enough for the vast majority of users.

    There is no ethical consumption under capitalism

    Also I don't give a shit about ethics if being ethical means a cop can get into my phone

    There are absolutely things that are more ethical than others. Absolute statements like that are unhelpful. Fairphone is not perfect, but a lot more ethical than the alternatives.

    That's such a cop out. Good luck to a cop trying to get into my phone. Grapheme is not the only ROM that prevents this.

    And as the other comment said, there are companies that are way more ethical. Not perfect due to the system but way better.

    And this mubd set of not giving a shit about ethics as long as things work well for you, is what enables companies to be shit and exploit the world.
