The privacy sub may be even more paranoid than the stim subs.

    I have a google phone right now but I’d love to get a Chinese phone when I need a new one. I’m pretty sure the party isn’t getting transcripts of what I yell at my phone right now, so I’m hoping a Xiaomi or Huawei would be more conducive to sharing my political advice with the chairman

      FWIW Xiaomi and Huawei phones still run android and come with google services installed by default. You have to install a custom OS to avoid that IIRC.

        If you want to avoid Google then Huawei is the way to go. Xiaomis generally are Google app compatible out of the box, you just have to go one extra step and install them.

        Huaweis, on the other hand, you have to go through all sorts of steps just to get Google play store installed and working, which I think says a lot about how devoid of google shit they are.
