If you can't or don't want to root the phone and install your own de-Googled Android rom then you could get an Android phone designed for mainland China, which will come with all of the Google stuff already removed.
Because I’d trust anything Chinese/for China more than I’d trust google.
I mean, what's Xi Jinping gonna do with your data? If you're not a higher up in the defense industry then you really have nothing to lose from a hypothetical Chinese government backdoor into your phone (an American government backdoor, on the other hand, is extremely threatening to you as the USG has shown time and again that if you become a "person of interest" for any reason they can and will build a spurious case against you).
Ahh yes the ol' "the (Chinese) government doesn't have any reason to want my data." You know this is what some people use to deflect the concept of privacy because they have got nothing to hide, right?
Yikes, that’s an ugly looking turn of phrase. I guess I’m blocking another racist.
Holy shit lmao.
It’s no secret that the Chinese government controls everything Chinese companies produce. If I’m using any digital item made in China I assume it sends whatever info it can on me back to China. This is nothing to do with Chinese people and everything to do with its authoritarian government.
Touch some grass and learn the concept of nuance you twat.
They're from hexbear, you'll have better luck telling fire to be wet
