imo this should be outlawed but that’s just my personal preference. The same opinion applies to billboards along roads. I already paid for the phone and for the roads so imo I’m entitled to use those things without unwarranted solicitations for my attention.

I've not bothered jail breaking my current phone, because time. Do this, and I will likely find a legal way to do so, because this is ridiculous unless I am getting paid to view them and this is opt in.

Somewhat off topic but related question: Aside from GrapheneOS what are some of the best open source phone operating systems that give as close to full control of the entire phone to the end-user as possible? Do any of them have their own firmware yet?
