The drama and accusations the GrapheneOS developers are spewing and engaging in are giving me a bad taste in the mouth and make me doubt the OS’s reliability am I the only one?

    Its nutjobs like them that are pushing progress further. State security apparatus doesn’t want to work by law. That can be observed worldwide.

    French went after Telegram even though it doesn’t market itself primarily for security. It was just that some public channels went against their strategic objectives and they felt the need to bruteforce their way.

    So GrapheneOS is very right to be nervous and pack their bags before they come knocking at the door.

      They literally said that French police are being told to treat Pixel phones as suspicious, which if true, shows why they’re concerned.

        Having a secure phone / secure messaging has been seen as suspicious by the police in france for several years now.

        This has already been used against eco activists to detain them preemptively and a few times to increase charges towards terrorism / organized crime when possible.
