Which company's devices are you using if you are skeptical of your ideas/data being stolen or misused by the respective company? do you also worry that you may be secretively spied on? Which mobile device, laptop and cloud do you have for personal use? Is Apple ethically better?

I prefer Android devices that were NOT manufactured in China. Chinese vendors will embed a lot of BS onto chips that you can't even get out of a rooted device. The reason why I favor Android is because it's much more conducive to the open-source ecosystem and you can readily get apps, like firewall apps and such, that will block all of the BS Google traffic. I am actually a developer, so I even do custom builds of open-source apps myself for mission-critical functions just to be extra cautious. But really, good network security is multi-factor/multi-layered. So, it's securing everything from your browser itself, your operating system, and then securing the network you're connected to, as well.
