    I suppose your level of enthusiasm for this offering tracks strongly with how credible you consider Rob Braxman. I have heard people here and elsewhere say he’s a quack or even a psyop. I do know that he’s one of the few sources to talk about client side scanning, the illusory nature of Apple’s “privacy” and other modern privacy issues.

    We need robust options for privacy. Googled Android and Apple iOS are horrible options for genuine anonymity and privacy. So, I welcome any competition in this space.

      I have no enthusiasm about a CEO, I have posted this article simply as an alternative more of an smartphone that does not go with Google or Apple, allows the use of Linux and also allows you to fix it by yourself with standard spare parts. This is in any case preferable to a mobile stock controlled by Google or Apple, period. I bet that some negative votes are made by users of Brave with it’s nazi CEO, supported by fishy Crypto companies, the rest for sure use an Fairphone. Right?

        Yeah that makes sense. And I don’t mean you personally. My commentary was to solidify that many have criticized Braxman but from my perspective we need voices like his to bring awareness to privacy issues caused by Big Tech. We need different options and information in order to make informed choices. So I don’t know why people would shit on someone offering information and alternatives.
