Ever since Apple announced/doubled-down on implementing client-side scanning, I’ve stopped recommending Apple devices as privacy-protecting stopgaps.
Do I have other suggestions for everyday people who use technology as an everyday thing?
Not really.
For phones, perhaps a NitroPhone with GrapheneOS (https://www.nitrokey.com/news/2021/nitrophone-most-secure-android-planet) (and you’re still indirectly making Google richer)
All other phones/Linux laptops come with security trade-offs compared to a Mac/iDevice.
Things aren’t great right now.
@aral The problem is that the increased security in Apple products come at the cost of control. Security is the excuse but the goal is to limit the customer, not the attacker.
The rest of the industry also wants that control and buys into that security model and considers it the only way to do things.
We take a different approach prioritizing customer control, but it means rejecting many existing solutions and building new ones from scratch. We've made progress but not done yet.
