As the title states, this is a thread to converse about Open Source hardware without any NSA, FSB or Chinese backdoors. What options might we have in the future and what options are available at the moment that are fully auditable against government-imposed backdoors?
There are some companies which value user privacy and device control but unfortunately they’re in the minority. I don’t see things fundamentally changing at an industry wide scale until we get capitalists out of tech.
Another thing to consider is that the average person just doesn’t care about privacy, at least not digital privacy and all the myriad ways it is or can be violated. Call it poor education, lack of interest, or simple resignation to something that seems inevitable.
