Take notes systemd
That was a breach in policy, btw.
What do you mean? Systemd maintainers merged the PR and the founder blocked the revert. They have obviously some hidden agenda about this.
For completeness here goes the best steelman against GrapheneOS’ abstention I could summarize. Am I missing any other considerations because this is not strong:
Despite age verification laws empirically not working (VPN use just skyrockets), Rawls would argue that civil disobedience requires visibility and the acceptance of associated consequences. Anonymously non-complying against a democratically enacted US law lacks this structure. This makes it more akin to evasion, which doesn’t mean it’s necessarily wrong, it just weakens its high ground status.
I don’t live in an area under the jurisdiction of any of these laws.
Despite this, were I on stock android, I would probably need to have the means for services I use to gather more information about me, regardless of my consent to their collection. Additionally, I am legally an adult, as is everyone in my household; we have no intention of having anyone in our household under the age of 18.
Graphene OS offering a way for me to not need to comply with a law I am not governed by. Any safety argument would not apply to us even if we were governed by any such law.
With all that, I fully support such actions by OS providers.
