That road, deadass, goes through five war zones. Hell no.

Red Flag laws are used to remove guns from Trans, Latino, and Black people in red states too. It's not the solution to gun violence that people think it is. It was a good idea, but it ends up falling to paradox of the false positive and even being weaponized against minorities more often than not. It violates due process as well.
More comprehensive care for people with severe mental health issues and arresting and jailing domestic violence offenders their first time is more effective. Unfortunately, we just defunded public mental health, so...
Fairphones are a good start, however their proprietary /e/OS has numerous glaring security gaps that the company does not address. For example:
- An unlocked bootloader, which enables any attacker with physical access to your phone to extract data and even load malware onto it.
- Its 'native IP' scrambler is an old, unmaintained fork of TOR.
- MicroG, its answer to Google Play Services, still relies on Google servers to collect and connect data from apps to your phone.
DivestOS maintained a list of security lapses that the E Foundation had not closed, but now that DivestOS is abandoned, I can't find the document. While Fairphone is a good answer to the centralization of the tech industry to the US and China, it's still rough and needs improvement before its security can be trusted. Please be aware that not every alternative is a good alternative. Be discerning, with this mass-migration, people are bound to get caught by dishonest representation and marketing.
I'm still not over Firefly. Or the Orville.
