Those Pixels have options to open bootloader and after flashing custom ROM that is much cleaner (GrapheneOS) to lock it again. Which is currently most secure way to have clean and secure android device.

Rather refurbished, because those are longer on market thus development of custom ROM (like LineageOS) is more likely. And of course you save a lot of money.

Totally, by "new" I mean refurbished or used, but new to me :)

There are many downsides, like dependency on battery or storing sensitive data on non transparent (proprietary) device.

Turnout during elections one month ago was about 68%. It doesn't look like Czechs don't trust a government.

You probably use devices and tools that collect those data quite precisely. Banks, mobile career, cars...

Yet, most do not care about privacy and willing to use devices with spying software every day. Cars, smartphones, IoT...

Can we verify those images are not edited or generated?

Why would you fake satellite images? The perpetrators uploaded videos by themselves

Because war propaganda exist. Verify, don't trust.

Even worse is inability to use licensed Adobe suite without internet. Beeing in field and edit your work is not possible after a week.

(Not scanning faces, but continuously monitoring yourself to prove innocence. Depressing.)

So lets scan faces of agents and identify them. We can use those technologies in both ways.

They, of course, wear full face masks.
