One thing I’ll say is I trust Apple as a company, at least more than I do with Google. They make their money from hardware and software. That’s it. They aren’t selling every single aspect of my data for a profit like Google does. There are trade offs in choosing Apple over Google, but for now, I think Apple is the lesser evil.
Louis, have you looked into Linux for your personal computer? It has huge privacy and open source value and there's a lot of great distributions. If you choose any KDE flavor of Linux, it's a bit like Windows 7 but with way more features and aesthetic changes.
Microsoft still ships windows with Edge and made it even harder to change it as your default browser. xD Most of the fines are wrist slap for big companies.
The issues you specified with mobile phones are quite simular to the issues faced by linux. Manafacturers have a very hard time shipping privacy respecting operating due to a variety of reasons, contractual obligations being one of them. However there are atleast a few manafacturers atempting to change the landscape. For computers some of these companies include System 76 and Framework, while phones have the pinephone, librem, and very few other alternatives. I am hoping that these different companies and projects build some traction in the mainstream to help change the landscape for the better.
Hey Louis. Just wanted to say thanks to your video about GrapheneOS, I cancelled my order of the Sony Xperia 1 iv (I was supposed to get it on September 5th, but it ended up being delayed to mid October), and decided to buy a Pixel 6a.
Awesome Louis! Dig into this as far as you possibly can! I think a big part of the issue here is that anyone with the ability to take steps towards correcting this likely has absolutely no understanding of these exact things you just explained! Someone like you to help Bridge that gap is Perfect!

When is Google going to accept they are no longer a fun, scrappy startup and have been a monstrous monopoly for well over 15 years now?
It reminds me of certain casinos where they have the odds set lower and just pay the fine because its cheaper than actually fixing the odds
Louis has grown from a repair rights advocate to a consumer rights advocate!
Americans seeking domestic legislative relief from foreign lawmakers, shows how little confidence there is in the U.S. government.

Just capitalism doing what is does best folks!
Louis Rossmann has been missing for several days. He was last known to be investigating Google.

The way he says "google pixel" makes me think it's a childs toy... "goo-goo-pixe" :D
"The European commission is fining google 4.3 dollars" had me rolling for a second
These types of agreements, just like hidden alliances, should be public knowledge. Appreciate your work
I got away with not having a cellphone for the past few months. I got a pixel 6a and downloaded graphene because of your graphene video
Louis Rossman The hero we all need!
The next step is probably for phone carriers to suddenly not support these phones. Would that shock anyone?

Qualcomm won't let you buy their high end chipsets unless you are a large brand.
Louis "Privacy and Self-sovereign" Rossmann 👏I've been waiting for this development!
