GrapheneOS will not implement age verification, keeping its OS usable globally without requiring personal data or accounts. 🌐
Devices may be restricted in regions with such laws, but the project prioritizes privacy and user control over compliance. 🔒

GrapheneOS refuses to comply with new age verification laws for operating systems — group says it will never require personal information

Doesn’t care if its devices can’t be sold in regions that require ID verification.

As an old Chinese proverb says, "If you want to see what others don't see, look at what others don't look at."
And I see a system "without Google and for everyone" but that can only be installed on a Google brand phone. 🤔🤔🤔
Will it be possible for any average user to use it on any phone? And without brand preference?
I don't think so...

There are plenty of ways we could go about building a mobile OS commons.

Most obviously AOSP could be forked, with distros like Replicant, /e/OS Lineageand Graphene rebasing on a community-driven variant of Android. With a de-Goggled stewardship organisation they all contribute dev resources and funds to as they can.

Also Mobile GNU is forging ahead. If you want to try it out, get hold of a PinePhone, Librem5, or an Android device that supports postmarketOS.

Já pensei nas opções, ou mudar para Apple que sempre têm mais privacidade mas é também ecossistema fechado e não gosto muito dos iPhones, ou optar por graphene OS, mas isso é restrito a certos equipamentos que não gosto tipo pixel.

Ah, os americanos só fazem, m****, desculpem o meu francês. 2/2

Now I've used Iodé OS ( @iode ) as my daily mobile OS for three weeks. Good so far. Based on Android Open Source Platform and Lineage OS. From France.

My intention is to write something later on my web site (hemrin.com) after some more usage. And eventually also talk about it on Hacker Public Radio ( @hpr ).
