I doubt its even environmentally/economically sustainable for a whole crowd of millions to just buy burners to discard after every protest. Too much ewaste. Is there a strategy that everyone can use without generating too much ewaste?

    It means they can find out where it was purchased and by whom.

    How? Do the e-waste centers keep track of the shit you take from there? Not where I live, they can sometimes give you stuff for free. Or you can just pick it up on ebay/craigslist/garage sale, that works too. Good luck tracking that.

    All of them. Again, this is required by Android ToS.

    I strongly doubt that because on my two last phones (OnePlus 5 & POCO M5) I didn’t have to log in to a Google account with the default ROM, there was an obvious “Skip” button in the lower left corner when prompted to log in. Can you point me towards that ToS or a screenshot of an unskippable “Sign in to Google” screen on a consumer smartphone?
