-Really interesting and during the video, one guy from [[https://framasoft.org/|Framasoft]] was talking about a story of tracking applications in the US: For 160 US dollars you could buy data telling you if a women made abortion, when and where ? WTF?!? :-( Sad reminder: yes it is now illegal in some US states.

-They reached a threshold, my threshold. I decided to restart the big fight to quit GAFAM.
+Everyone has a threshold, they just reached mine. I decided to restart the big fight to quit GAFAM. Show that it is possible and reduce the power that GAFAM companies have on our life, our futur.
 ==== Last tries ====
-  - ZTE + firefox OS
+As I said, I already tried to quit GAFAM a long time ago. I wanted to highlight some projects that helped me or at least to say that I was happy to see that something else than GAFAM was existing.
-  - blackphone
-  - Murena
+=== Firefox OS ===
+I was convinced, and I still am, that the first quick win that I could achieve was to stop using an iPhone.
+That's why I tried [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefox_OS|Firefox OS]]. I love [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefox|Firefox browser]] and their philosophy, that's why I was really excited by this phone OS but too many bugs. I was not able to just receive messages and manage calls.
+=== Blackphone ===
+This english company seems to provide a phone with an clean OS. I was wondering if it could fit my use case but sending the hardware to Canada looked complicated and really expensive and their software package/subscription did not provide me confidence. Maybe I am wrong but I did not go further.
+=== Murena ===
+Last but not least, [[https://murena.com/|Murena]] is the last one I discovered and it should be the one I would start my quit-gafam-quest. No subscription. You can buy their cloud solution only if you want but we can use your own Nextcloud instance. Looks good to me 8-).
 ==== Let's start ====
-  - The first step to leave GAFAM I chose is to quit iPhone, iCloud.
+As I said, in my use case, I guess that the best first step for my quest will be to stop using my iPhone and the iCloud subscription that comes with.
+I know there will be some challenges:
+  - Get all my pictures back from iCloud. I know that exporting is clearly not user friendly like Google Drive ([[https://framablog.org/2023/02/09/la-degooglisation-du-grap-partie-1-la-sortie-de-google-drive/|Degooglisation du GRAP part 1]] in French).
+  - Transfer data and applications I need onto my new smartphone. Especially the MFA((Multi Factor Authentication)) applications required by banks, employers...
