Jackson soon discovered that Amazon suspended his account because a Black delivery driver who’d come to his house the previous day had reported hearing racist remarks from his video doorbell. In a brief email sent to Jackson at 3 a.m., the company explained how it unilaterally placed all of his linked devices and services on hold as it commenced an internal investigation.
The accusations baffled Jackson. He and his family are Black. When he reviewed the doorbell’s footage, he saw that nobody was home at the time of the delivery. At a loss for what could have prompted the accusation of racism, he suspected the driver had misinterpreted the doorbell’s automated response: “Excuse me, can I help you?”
Which products don’t have that? I’m seriously asking, I would buy those.
Fairphone?
Maybe? It seems like from their site that they’re more interested in saving the planet but it is bare bones. It doesn’t really make any declarations on that front.
It doesn’t come with preloaded shit though, so in that sense it’s a good option.
I didn’t see that on their site, that’s good to know.

So, you would have to root kit it, right? I’m not sure I trust myself to be able to do it. I guess I could try it on an old phone or something.
Disconnect the tv from the internet. Use an AppleTV or Nvidea Shield.
Some of them will auto connect to open WiFi signals without advising you just to dial home.
The Motorola phones I’ve been buying for ages are usually real light on bloat. Worst I had was having to remove Facebook from my phone using CLI commands (I think with adb?)
