  1. I was thinking about my post about a week ago, re. the #FreedomPhone (see the link below).

    It got me wondering - What would I actually want in a #Freedom and #Privacy respecting #phone?

    Maybe things like:

    - A fully #encrypted #filesystem, with optional support for hardware key (like #solokey, or #nitrokey) #decryption
    - NO #Fingerprint Scanner or #Biometrics at all
    - #NFC that can only be toggled on temporarily, and automatically shuts off after X amount of time
    - #Bluetooth 5+ with #A2DP; #AptX and #BLE with a more security focused method of #authentication
    - All internet connections routed through @torproject (or something similar), with a #killswitch if the connection is dropped
    - Privacy focused #browser with something like #SSL Everywhere; #WebRTC and JS disabled by default, with easy toggle for "trusted" websites, which would allow JS and Video etc
    - #Decentralized messaging; voice chat; video conferencing; forums and blogs, like where #Briar is being taken by @briar (though the voice; video and other creature comforts are as yet unavailable)
    - No closed source Modem/Wifi/Bluetooth binary blobs
    - Securely Containerized SMS/MMS
    - Password Manager with support for #OTP; #TOTP and #Fido2
    - #GPS #Spoofing by default

    That's all I can think of for now, what would YOU like to see in a Privacy focused Phone?
