Perfect match. They both offer a heavily marketed appearance of being Freedom and Privacy respecting, but actually just relying on the ignorance of customers.

I'm not sure what other companies are trying the same thing. Staying with companies that definitely peddle your data and privacy versus investing in a company who hopefully promotes a better way seems pretty straightforward to me. What hardware and software vendors should the 'smart' customers be buying from?

A US-based VPN (or really any VPN) is only going to help someone so much, but what's wrong with Purism?

They have a distro that doesn't spy on you and hardware switches, and their upcoming phone seperates the modem as a USB peripheral to mitigate the modem's firmware.

I don't know much about Purism. What do you have against them?
