Good luck with that, since Android itself is a Google program
If you are running an Android phone straight from Google, with the standard Google, they can and do all type of spying.
First watch this:
What it’s like to use a De-Googled phone in real life?

Then go and look around here:
LineageOS – LineageOS Android Distribution
Good luck and God speed!
I heard that the Gab group was going to come out with a phone, not sure how soon. It will have its own platform.

I like your Affordable Plumbing Act of 2014.
I believe ProtonMail just released a calendar app for Android within the last week or two.
Tried to sign up for Gab. Problem was I used my gmail address. Never got the confirmation email on gmail. Is Google messing with me? Has anyone else experienced this?
You can also find degoogled phones. Still runs Android but all the google stuff has been removed.

Textra is a great texting app. Well worth supporting.
I dropped the Google search app and use DuckDuckGo, which does not sell your information or track you on the web. TO me, it’s every bit as good. I quit Google mail, too, since their new agreement allows them to not only read your mail, but to target and sell your address. I’m off FB and YouTube, too. I never did use Twitter, but see that they had a $1.3B loss this year compared to almost that same number as profit last year. If enough people jump ship, perhaps Google and FN will get the idea that freedom of speech and privacy do mean something to us.

Don’t worry about the app....it’s every node that passes your message through on the way to its destination that will copy your information.
Encryption is the key.
In the past,
The only safe phone was Black Phone.
It was the most secure phone on the market for consumers.
I believe they are still around selling Black Phone 2.
I had thought about one in the past but now I’d have to do more research.
on it...
