   Hint: you’re not an “ethical desktop experience” if you’re in bed with the world’s largest surveillance capitalist.

     same counts for @fairphone since they ship their phones with mass survailience intecreated rather then #lineageOS or similiar.
     their argument was that most people want and use #google and by adopting google nativly into their phone they can reach more people.

     Meanwhile: my mom has no idea about tech and also no interest in. She has some enviormental motivations. So she bought the #fairphone. Now she sticks to google, not because she wanted it more, but because it was already installed...and now it's a habit.

     What they could do instead:
     offering google and lineage. having a good visable disclaimer on the google offer about them being a root kit leaving you no control over your phone.
     By doing so I believe they could increase their outreach, especially since their is an increasing interest in service that respects private data.

     Aral Balkan repeated this.
