    get an iPhone

    Fuck that noise, Apple is already firmly in the pocket of the orange fascist. They are no longer safe and are now a threat to privacy and safety. I would bet my entire existence they are already handing over data on anyone not straight white Christofascist.

      iPhones are highly regarded for security precisely because you don’t have to trust that Apple won’t hand over your data - it’s encrypted, if you set it up that way. enable Lockdown Mode, don’t use any services that aren’t E2EE. they can still try to GrayKey your phone, but it’s not Apple’s doing - GrayKey uses exploit chains which Apple legitimately does well to mitigate.

      GrapheneOS is better for security than iPhones, but less noob-friendly. there are guides, though.

          I’d trust an iPhone more than a random Samsung full of carrier bloatware, but I trust my Pixel running GrapheneOS more than either.

          I have the USB-C port disabled for anything but charging, a duress pin, and reboots after 8 hours without a login. I’m honestly not sure if GrayKey could unlock it. I have memory tagging and a bunch of other hardening enabled, running only open-source apps I’ve verified the signatures of, running with minimal permissions. It would be hard to hack.

          Yes, of course the NSA could almost certainly break it, but it would probably cost them time, money and vulns. If everyone uses GOS it will make their job very, very annoying :)
