Good idea overall, unfortunately they still have your IP and phone number which means Europeans are still implicated

If the US let them sell these here Samsung would be bankrupt in a matter of days.

I believe Xiaomi also lets you root their devices without doing an Asus on their customers

Is Libgen even an entity? What constitutes “Libgen”? I think there might be a way to make this claim invalid by a round-about shrug: “what’s libgen”?

Chinese phones that let you unlock the bootloader are actually a great deal

You’re not there for fun lol, you’re there to pirate stuff. Sure, using Signal to pirate would be fine too but your anonymity depends on how long they honor their word of “no logs”. Use a desktop version/ run a VM if you’re on MacOS or something.

Everybody hates me when I say it but Apple users should really reconsider their choices if they are at all interested in privacy. Go get a cheap Android device, hope it has a kernel beyond 5.10 and KernelSU it.

ADB commands cannot permanently remove system applications, they can only disable them till you get around to wanting to enable them again. The problem starts getting ugly when you disable a lot of stuff at once and then something breaks and you’re too lazy to track down which component was necessary. A couple of applications are no problem. Of course, it’s been a year since I’ve tried ADB so RTFM. Don’t worry so much about it
