Is that info from the latest Motorola collab? I heard about the beef between GOS and e/os, but nothing directly about Fairphone itself.

Consider Fairphone. You pay a bit more for mid tier device, but hopefully (and so far seemingly) the money is being well spent.

Fairphone 6 with e/OS can use its physical switch to disable camera & microphone. Its only SW disabling but it forces app that want to use it request it. There’s also privacy setting that gives apps fake geo data.

Its not perfect but any improvement is good.
