Everything about chat control, age verification, border security etc. has me feeling paranoid again

Giving Kagi another try, gonna install Graphene OS, will make some small moves to de-Googling, full disk encrypt all the things. What other paranoia-maxxing meaures should I take?

@jenbanim I wish we had more options for phone OSs that were actually usable by the average person. I feel like the only way we're getting true privacy back is through legislation, but our politicians are so bought and paid for by corporations that I'm not sure that will ever happen.

@LithiumRyanBattery I'll have to report back but Graphene OS seems reasonably usable

But yeah absolutely. Installing a custom OS is a poor substitute for laws that aren't stupid. Feels like all this nonsense just came out of nowhere and was implemented before anyone could even notice

@jenbanim I've been doing everything I can to make my Android more private. I'm using Kagi search and DuckDuckGo browser, and I've switched off as many ad and data settings as I possibly can.
