Google Devices are anything but owned by customers. You don’t have anything yours there, not even your data, location.. anything. Wake up.

Freedom is not a boolean, it is a scale and google offers more than apple at the moment. Ironically the pixel devices are one of the few where bootloaders are unlocked in the US and you can flash a customer google free rom. Assuming there is no hardware based surveillance this is as close to free as we can get at the moment.

Close to free—for the 0.1% of owners who are willing to put in tens of hours of their time.
