I really want to start a mutual aid service where I give people free tech, like Google Pixels pre-loaded with GrapheneOS, but I haven’t seen many examples of how mutual aid works with expensive stuff. Does anyone have any ideas of how to equitably distribute such phones?
I know Fairphone is great, and I try to tend towards ethical consumption (even when there is no ethical consumption under capitalism, practices like veganism is necessary), but I’m concerned about the privacy and security of Fairphone. GrapheneOS is considered by the privacy/security communities I hang out in to be the solution for a private phone that is also secure. I just don’t know, I totally understand, and it’s a tricky ethical dilemma for me.
I agree it is difficult to balance security and privacy with being ethical. Thanks capitalism /s
