And here it is. Google wants a two tier internet that discriminates against users of non android or apple products. Discrimination that must be challenged as more people are degoogling and detaching from AI or big tech monopolies. @USCongress time to break up the party. Should have not been allowed from the get go. Thanks @StopTechnocracy

Explore the Librem 5 or Librem 5 USA by Purism, which run on an independent Linux-based operating system (PureOS) completely free of Apple or Google services. Alternatively, consider the FuriPhone FLX1s for another fully custom mobile Linux experience. [1, 2, 3, 4]
These devices are designed to give you total control over your hardware and data, functioning more like a pocket computer than a standard smartphone.
Key Features to Expect
• True Convergence: You can plug these phones into an external monitor and keyboard to use them as a full desktop computer Librem 5 .
• Hardware Kill Switches: Physically disconnect the cameras, microphone, WiFi, and cellular signals for ultimate privacy Librem 5 .
• Replaceable Batteries: Easily swap out the battery to keep the device functioning for years Librem 5 . [5]
Market Considerations
• The Librem 5 Standard (imported manufacturing) costs around $699 American-Made Librem 5 Phone Costs $1,999.
• The Librem 5 USA features fully US-based electronic manufacturing and is priced at $1,999 Librem 5 USA .
• The FuriPhone FLX1s offers ongoing releases and ships with the FuriOS Linux environment FuriPhone FLX1s Linux Phone . [2, 3, 6, 7]
If you are open to devices that still use the open-source Android codebase but strip out all of Google's tracking and services (often called "de-googled" phones), there are other highly secure custom operating systems to look into.
Could you tell me what specific features you need (e.g., standard app store access, extreme privacy, or desktop-to-phone convergence) so I can help you choose the ideal phone?

Did anyone really expect a US made phone? The ONLY US made smartphone is the $1,999 Purism Liberty phone. A niche security focused device running PureOS Linux. US made version of their overseas made $799 Librem 5. Still has some parts from China & India.

Turns out to be very hard. UBports, PostmarketOS, Mobian, PureOS and others are doing an amazing job though. We will get there. We had a decade of DOS on x86 before Linux got started, 12 years before it got usable. Just on the verge of phone Linux being useful as a daily driver.

Surveillance, Breaches, and Gaps in the Law
It has become clear that privacy risks are not isolated incidents. They are part of a larger pattern. Major organizations continue to experience large scale data breaches.
Brightspeed recently suffered a breach affecting around one million customers.
The University of Phoenix reported a breach in early December affecting nearly 3.5 million people.

I think this would be a good time for Tuta and other projects that are truly concerned by this to start working more on making sure their software can run on mobile Linux alternatives such as FuriOS, PureOS, Ubuntu Touch, etc.

It is time for our first giveaway.
We're giving away a Librem 14 from Purism. It's a fancy expensive $1,400 - laptop.
Requirements:
- Follow @ddd1ms on Xitter
- Comment below
Librem is a pro-privacy laptop that unironically comes with a fuckin' kill switches for mic, bluetooth, camera. It has Intel Management engine disabled. It runs PureOS, with app sandboxing, adblocking, tracking protection, etc.
This laptop is basically a privacy nerd laptop. It also comes with a bunch of NSA stickers, HOPE (Hackers on Planet Earth) stickers, FBI Most Wanted stickers, etc.
I forgot to ask for the specs on the laptop, but I'll get that stuff later on. Attached image is the laptop he'll mail to your home.
