GrapheneOSAndroid 16 QPR2 experimental releases will be available soon. We're dealing with a lot of attacks on the project branching off from the smear campaign in France. We'd appreciate if our community would debunk this nonsense across platforms for us so we can focus on QPR2. Thanks.
If you see the fake story about someone claiming to be charged with premeditated murder because GrapheneOS supposedly didn't protect their data, see https://nitter.net/GrapheneOS/status/1997126386968903972 for a thorough debunking. Their story keeps changing and clearly isn't real. They may be a career criminal but this is fake.
diss@GrapheneOS it is obviously a troll. their username starts with b8r. which is baiter. and they hired those people to read scripts
@dissoc Look at their Telegram channel. It's not a brand new identity or account. It has a long history prior to this of bragging about scamming people and recruiting people to it. If the whole thing is fake then they've been doing a really long operation to harm us. It doesn't fit with how flimsy and inconsistent their claims are. They're gradually changing their story to try to find a way to attack GrapheneOS which people would believe such as changing their duress PIN story.
@dissoc The overall voting on the /r/degoogle subreddit shows the overall community fell for it despite the comments being filled with people debunking it. If it had more downvotes than upvotes, it would be at 0 instead of a highly scored post relatively to other recent posts. People do fall for this and it does harm us.
They do seem like they're likely a criminal but serially fabricate things to make themselves seem like a big deal stealing a lot of money and supposedly murdering people.
