The Librem 14 is our most secure laptop to date. We aim to make the Librem 14 as secure as possible out of the box for the widest range of customers. We also have a number of customers who face more extreme threats and are willing to trade some convenience for extra security. Those customers have sometimes asked us about which combination of options would make their Librem 14 order the most secure. Here is guidance from @kyle

AweSIM is cellular service that protects your privacy.
We offer 2 plans:

📌 AweSIM with unlimited talk, text, and data for $99/month.

📌 Librem SIMple: provides the same privacy protections, with a 1GB monthly data limit for $39/month

Both services are for the US, with roaming included within the US, US Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Canada, and Mexico. Works well with Librem 5 and Librem 5 USA. You can also use AweSIM or SIMple on other unlocked phones in the US.

For Big Tech companies there are several ways to strip you off of your privacy and to gain control of your digital rights. These companies understand that privacy is really about control. Because they control the OS, their app stores, and their respective clouds, they control their customers’ privacy. They use this control to their advantage against competitors. Do not fall prey to privacy washing 📢 https://puri.sm/posts/privacy-washing-do-as-i-say-not-as-i-do/
