Does microG leak location? - Commonly used in CalyxOS, LineageOS, IodeOS, e/OS/ etc
Recently looking into the multiple android alternative offerings like CalyxOS, e/OS/, etc and came across these few issues which point towards privacy/security concerns.
-
microG Push notifications still go through Google's servers just like with Play Services
-
microG uses proprietary Google Binaries for some of its components such as DroidGuard
-
Choosing a network location like Mozilla to use with microG provides little to no privacy benefit over Google because you are still submitting the same data and trusting them to not profile you.
Are they true and how can I circumvent them?

Whatever I speak or msg about within Signal App appears on my youtube Recommended
Using cheap samsung android phone, ive noticed for the last few years and so have my friends, that whatever we discuss during out signall phonecall, appears very blatantly obvious on my youtube recommended feeds.
I thought Signal was supposed to be private and automatically sandboxed?
If it is, then google clearly bend their own rules and peer into the app.
Does this happen to you? what is the explanation?
PS The Official Signal Reddit sub removed my post thread when I asked this question there.
I want to deGoogle my phone - Alternatives to GrapeneOs and Pixel(google phones)
Im not keen on trying to deGoogle only by purchasing a Google pixel... -_-
Please provide other options with nothing to do with google or microsoft., Such as Fairphone, etc.
As you know(or may not), new CPU's from intel have remote access hardwired, regardless of the OS you are using. I suspect Google outsmarted the GrapheneOS userbase and went one step ahead.

What should I do when I see headlines about personal data getting breached? How do I keep such info off the internet?
Like when I read 3 Billion National Public Data Records with SSNs, Addresses Dumped Online, am I supposed to access that data dump or something to see if I got pwned? Are there equivalents to haveibeenpwned.com for this type of stuff? Any guides on what to do when these happen? I feel like I'm doomscrolling or watching the news, and feeling depressed about the world as a result because I should be doing something but I can't or it seems like I can't.
Even though I know better than to put such personal info online, but that doesn't eliminate the odds of them getting into breaches like these, and having started to be careful about digital privacy has opened my eyes to the sad state of privacy.
