1. Purism have the warrant canary. 2. You can check the source code and schematics. Can you do this for any other company in any other country? 3. At least there are courts in the US, not so in China. Practically all electronics is produced in China. > My main gripe was the US location. And then they were acquired by Zoom. So the actual problem turned out to be NOT the location, right? Purism is a Social Purpose Corporation, so it's hard (impossible?) to buy them. |

2. I’m not saying I can recommend you a better company with a comparable product. But with the way they’re positioning themselves, they have extremely high standards to live up to.
3. Fair point. Let’s see how the Assange trials go.
Yes, China is a concern but if you’re going to provide a better alternative, why make your base and operations in one of the top 3 remaining global concern countries?
I’ve been keeping checking in on Purism for years and have been close to ordering early several times but this uneasiness is what has been preventing me from pulling the trigger.
You are totally free to make a different judgement call and I respect supporting a good cause where you believe in the team. I also do still hope that Purism does become successful and grow and the team is showing promising progress.
Sadly the US is just too corrupt to have this be trustable and sustainable as things look now. I hope they realize this and move. And that we see more actors in this space.
