Thanks! I remember safety codes now: it looks at all your pictures and says it only blocks CSAM, but who knows if it is trustworthy or if it misidentifies something.
The other o e from what I can tell is trying to add e2ee to google message? How does it spy?

Looks like it is mostly a good thing?
I don't know much about them to be honest, these were just the apps people were talking about

I don't know myself, but Graphene OS (on Google Pixel phones) has a pretty impressive sandbox layer for the play store and the apps it installs. It might be worth looking into if you're not aware of it currently. (But if you're aware of the Fairphone, I'm guessing you probably know about Graphene).
On graphene the release of the integrity API broke most of my gvt applications. I will have to buy a cheap android phone to be able to fill my taxes...
I contacted them, they told me it is for security, I argued but it is useless. I have to buy an android phone or be punished for not filling my taxes. Amazing -
I’m taking steps, slowly, as well. I’m getting off windows very soon, I’m working on getting off of various services these companies run one at a time. Depending on what really happens with Android and Google we’ll see.
Another way of deGoogling would be to, ironically, use a Pixel phone and side-load a privacy focused OS like Graphene or CalyxOS. With them, literally everything needs express permissions to be used, whether it's your camera, location, microphone, etc. You can even sandbox the Play Store and other Google services so they can't access your deeper files.

I do, but as far as I was aware my Fairphone can't run Graphene? I would love to keep using my Fairphone over buying Google's hardware at this point
Then buy second-hand. You aren't giving Google any of your money, and you can focus on increasing your privacy.

Still, repairability is right up there with privacy for me, so I'm quite happy with the hardware right now

That's fair. I just had to get my pixel repaired and it's been a headache because Google doesn't make it easy.

CalyxOS is not hardened in any way and is in some ways less secure than stock AOSP. They are also on a hiatus and have discontinued updates: https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/24791-departure-of-calyx-calyxos-leadership-and-discontinuation-of-calyxos-updates

Huh... That's news to me. When I was first looking into it, that OS was mentioned here and there. I ended up putting Graphene on my phone and left it at that, so I didn't even bother keeping up with any of the other stuff.

TIL this exists. Super cool.
Hvad koster det?
As the much more timely reply indicates, it is quite free
