I am thinking about buying a fairphone. Is it less of a privacy nightmare than your typical Android phone?
minus-squareAtemu@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 year ago With fairphone at least rooting does, don`t know about flashing tho. Source for that? You must gain root privileges in order to flash anything; that’s what the oem unlock is for. Whatever you flash has full access anyways.

But there does not seem to be a definitive answer. Should have read the thread further the first time :D Sorry about that
