Don't hesitate for a second to buy a Pixel for the purposes of GrapheneOS. By all means avoid all other ways of giving Google money, but this is a clearly reasonable exception.
People don't use GrapheneOS to avoid giving Google their money. They do it to protect their privacy.
No shit.
Your other post really makes it sound like you think people use GrapheneOS to hurt Google's business model.
No it doesn't? They literally called it an exception...
I've heard pixels have out of band chips in them acting as hardware backdoors
I've heard there's nanomachines in 5G vaccines
That's easy to prove, so unless a researcher has shown it to be true, I would take it as misinformation.
