You are referring to undefined terms to define undefined terms: "common good" is not something obvious in this particular situation. Food is poor example here because toxicity is more, or less the common denominator here, while safety of a smartphone has a very different value for someone whose life is immersed in digital services, and whose income allows to see a +/-50 dollars as a small variation, and one who uses only whatsapp, and weather service, and needs to save every penny. In fact majority of Android phones in the world right now are somewhat vulnerable, and it doesn't seem that people who use all these cheap stuff are eager for change. You already can be safer if you it's your priority by using more expensive brands (Apple, Samsung) which offer longer-term updates.

P.S. My food is not regulated by FDA, not everybody registered in HN are from States.
