Get a Google Pixel. Use GrapheneOS.
Step 1: Give the surveillance company money
Better than giving them your data. They can't use your money to ruin your life, but they can very well do that with your data.
You're kidding right? Money can't ruin lives?
It definitely can. But Google won't randomly spend money in order to ruin your life. They will do that with your data though as can be seen in many unfortunate cases like these: https://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/google-geofence-location-data-avondale-wrongful-arrest-molina-gaeta-11426374 https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/21/technology/google-surveillance-toddler-photo.html And it's not just Google. Any data you expose can and will at some point be used to absolutely fuck you. The Snowden leaks have proven this.
That's a direct impact, for sure, but money gives them power to build better surveillance, influence the public, influence politics, buy up competition and so much more. They affect you indirectly and over a much longer time-period.

Pixels are too expensive. And you will support private data hungry evil company.
Compared to Apple?
Compared to the other Android-based phone manufacturers.
Privacy shouldn't be so expensive.
My Pixel 6a was 300 bucks, it's not that expensive and I get security updates until 2027. With 8th Generation Pixels even getting 7 years of updates.
Pixels are the only phones that allow you to fully erase everything related to Google and at the same time keep good security.
