It is worth noting that both the hardware and software of Fairphone is heavily dependent on a Chinese company T2Mobile.
For those looking to avoid both US and Chinese companies, then the Jolla phone is the way to go.



Avoiding Chinese companies is a factor for me, BUT if the choice is between a Chinese company that wouldn’t comply with a five-eyes data request vs one that would, then I would definitely prefer my data be stolen by a foreign country that doesn’t see me as a sovereign risk
Chinese company who has to comply with the CCP is a problem for me, and my work.
What’s your work?
Stuff I and my employer doesn’t want the CCP to know.
We have come a long way, to be finally more concerned about our government spying on us than about a foreign nation.
