do you consider Lenovo to be a bigger potential threat to your privacy than Google?

I will use my definition of "privacy" to answer this question:
(1) Lenovo, let's assume they pass ALL their info to the Chinese government. Every single one of them, but you do NOT get to go to prison or get a Civil Asset Forfeiture. There isn't a SINGLE case in which the CCP has shaken hands with Western law enforcement for data in China. Not.a.single.one...and if you live here, it becomes obvious why. There is NO leverage here. None! Totally different mindset that is IMPOSSIBLE for me to convey unless you live here and have experienced it. Banks here can't close accounts unless they have been deemed against the public's (read China's) interest by the courts.
(2) Google, we all know what they do with our data and we have this: FBI probe , Civil Asset Forfeiture, imprisonment, raids, debanking, etc etc.
So, now, which do you prefer? 1 or 2?
PS. A "friend of a friend" ;) did business with a group people and supplied tons of ivermectin and other "Western banned meds" during the scamdemic. While most on the other side got "busted or debanked" he hasn't even received one inquiry...except a few offers by "CIs and feds" (under the ruse of HUGE buyers 🤣) to meet in Puerto RIco, NYC, London, etc etc to discuss a huge JV:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:.... NEVER EVER doxx yourself. The greedy lure their victims with GREED! 🤣:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
Funny story....the self-appointed useless and unproductive gang members under the ruse of "government" think they can scrape fingerprints and DNA from the packages sent to them....Good luck getting the fingerprints and DNA of robots 🤣:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

He finally figured it out. He's been through the meat grinder.... He's seen what they did to him. He felt their power at the barrel of their guns in his house, in front of his kids. He has the scars to prove it. He's NO longer under ANY illusion or delusion! He's NO longer buying the propaganda!
I think ANOM opened his eyes.

As I said before, if they don't know your name and don't know who you are, there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING they can do to you! You can hang out in Washington, DC and if they don't have a name and a body, there is NO way they can put handcuffs on you! I've seen so many John Doe indictments vis-à-vis mala prohibita crimes rejected or even just just sit there indefinitely because they can't identify the "perpetrator" 🤣:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

This is such a coincidence...I just woke up here and I was starting my day and I remembered a guy I worked for in Philadelphia in the 1980s. A WASP, so an all-American guy. He had a "Republican office" in Texas and Florida, a "Democratic office" in Massachusetts and California, etc... Separate companies, separate addresses, separate "directors", etc. etc. He sold political paraphernalia and supplements to each side.
One day I asked him (I was a kid in college doing whatever it takes to make money) if it didn't bother his conscience being duplicitous to his clients. He looked me straight in the eye and said: "You don't feel bad you are shagging the girl in the Massachusetts office and also the girl in the Florida office?" 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 - And I lowered my head down, apologized, and told him I would NEVER be a hypocrite again. That guy had such a great laugh, he invited me on his next business trip, and he is the one who introduced me to Life Extension Foundation.
He always used to quip at me: "Jafo, never divorce money. " 🤣:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
Which brings up your point about the Chinese... They print MAGA shirts, they print Kamala Harris shirts, they print "Chyyyynnnnnaaaaa did COVID" shirts 🤣:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:... They don't give AF!

I never put money a priority over my ethics.
Life isn’t easy unfortunately.

Yes, it’s the same IOR of Calvi memory.

Secure Group is/was the most comprehensive solution, but it remains useless if you can't manage it yourself.
compromised said:Secure Group is/was the most comprehensive solution, but it remains useless if you can't manage it yourself.
I agree, you would need to manage your own server etc. Only realistic in a large corporate setting.
There are some resellers but I wouldn’t trust any.

If it's in the West, I would NOT trust ANY of them against a Western nation state, especially the US...we'd end up like Assange, Snowden, John Mark Dougan, Ladar Levison of Lavabit, or worse...Mike Lynch and his partner Stephen Chamberlain and their US defense attorneys....all at the bottom of the ocean.
In almost 20 years doing IT for my general advisor, Albert, a federal US prosecutor, I NEVER EVER heard ANY of these gang members utter the statements: "We can't do that because the law does NOT allow it!" Not even effing ONCE! Not a cop, not a prosecutor, not a judge, not a politician...nothing!
Now, if you are hiding from China, Russia, North Korea, or Iran...yeah by ALL means, Secure Group is the way to go. The opposite is also true when positions are switched (this reference is NOT about sex 🤣 )

Absolutely! You have no way to know if they were forced to install a backdoor, or if they are a honey pot.

They are amusing, usually they try to convince you (while you are being handcuffed/sit in your cell/in court) that the law allows them to do everything they want. And the judges nod, with rare exceptions.

What I trust (to a certain extent) is Session installed on the phone purchased by Abdul, the illegal immigrant. Cheap and effective.
if you don’t post on social media, you already have removed the biggest threats to your safety. They are the best hunting grounds for law enforcement.

This is the ONLY way! 😎
PS. Robert Greene wrote about it in Law 26 of The 48 Laws of Power and is "Keep Your Hands Clean," which dictates using scapegoats (or "cat's-paws") to take blame and disguise mistakes, ensuring your reputation remains spotless.

As a business owner, what would be the advantage of building your own in-house communication system like the cartel... versus getting GrapheneOS burner phones with decent communication apps like SimpleX?
Let's assume you hire one of those packaged "private cell network" engineers, and they build you two base stations for like 10 grand. Wouldn't the costs far outweigh purchasing burner phones for each employee?
Is the selling point psychological, i.e. a 2G 2010s phone connected to a private cell network has less ways for a braindead employee to screw up in their OPSEC?

No practical advantage. Perhaps the illusion of control, or benefits in terms of image and pr.

The same braindead employee will not think twice to use his standard phone if the “secure” one for some reason is not working, or its battery is dead.
After all, El Chapo himself screwed up and got caught.
