> Owning it should be basic human right, like wearing clothes!
NOT having to own an abusive manipulation tool should be a basic human right.
And let's be very clear about this: almost all apps are intentionally designed to be manipulative. Try disabling notifications for example, and most apps will whine and whinge and bully you until you enable it. The design of these things is thoroughly and profoundly abusive.
Never mind of course that "smartphone" in practicality means "Android and iOS", and "must give monies to this huge duopoly" is something I have a bone or two to pick with as well.
