  • hmmm, I’d consider Apple and Google to be roughly equal in terms of general overall evilness these days

    they both donate to support fascism and genocide, remove anti-fascism apps and anti-surveillance apps from their stores upon government request (even when not legally required), spy on their users, etc

    and their software/products seems to be in the final phase of enshittification

    the fact that GrapheneOS exists and works on Google hardware at all seems like a plus in Google’s column, however it’s only necessary because default Android/Chrome are not allowed to go so far as to protect users from surveillance capitalism (so it’s a plus only necessary because of a negative)

    unless there’s a specific measure where Google does significantly worse?
