    In addition to the Librem 5, other phones like the Fairphone 2 and OnePlus One (which I am using to write this) both have unlocked bootloaders, meaning all infected apps can be removed. The only real vulnerabilities to many open phones like these that I know are propreitary firmware blobs.

    No kidding. If you told people back in the early 00's what Google would become they would have put you on crank. com

    Every time I unlock my phone I wave at the screen to the fucker who has to look at the screenshots taken when unlocking said phone.

    "Malware" are you sure it is not just the CIA approved secret features?
