Fairphone should provide you sufficient privacy and security and give you ethical points. I have played with many OS’s. GrapheneOS is hands down the best. I have used it for years. If only it would run on a fairly built device such as Fairphone, it would be stellar.
Why not looking for distributed mechanism, which don’t depend on trusting central servers or particular instances on decentralized mechanisms, like jami, or similar?
Good info. I use e/OS on my old Samsung phone as a daily driver. I consider the phone to be a communication device, so have just couple of messenger apps there. All else is done on a PC so dont consider the security to be an issue. But its good to be aware of it. However, I think privacy is orders of magnitude bigger thread to a common person than an attacker spending resouces and targeting a random person. Sure, someone could attack me, but to get what? While google attacks privacy 24/7.
Thats why iOS exploits are so valuable because iphones run on such a narrow band that an exploit is likely to work on all iphone users, regardless of model.
The video you posted 100% proves my point. Nothing in the video is security related, Its all privacy points. Getting attacked by scammers, phishing emails, phone calls etc are privacy threats, because you provided your main email, phone number etc where you should not/did not have to. I am saying again privacy is orders of magnitude bigger thread to a common person than an attacker spending resouces and targeting a random person. Please recognize that privacy and security are different things, people obsess with security when its a smaller threat to them.
Non of the threats in the video would happen if people didnt share their lives, emails, phone numbers etc all online in plain sight. Non of the threats required an attacker to use a vulnerability to enter into pc/phone/network etc.
Privacy - use email aliases for different websites, different phone numbers for 2FA, do not use social media or at least do not post all your life , real identity, email and a phone number on there etc
Security - dont use no longer supported software, use an offline password manager, you still have no chance against 0 day vulnerabilities
/for a good measure, i copied the link you posted and entered into piped.video, example of privacy.
