Yeah, we can't individually compete with multinational corporations who manufacture all of our devices and also make it their full time job to compromise our security in order to monetise our data.

The only real solution is open source systems that we control, but those same corporations monopolise the tech sector so much that it's extremely slow work to build those alternatives and make them palatable to regular users.
