If the US government bans Graphene, Motorola will drop them in 1/1000th of a heartbeat.

How does the government ban an os? Can’t is a strong word, but I don’t see that happening. It’s a Canadian based foundation, not a Chinese or Russian company where they could argue national security in the same way they did with Huawei or TikTok.

It’s more likely a federal os-level age verification law gets passed and grapheneOS compromises or backs out out of the US market.

They’re trying to argue national security for Anthropic, a US based company.

That only bans the use of anthropic for government use. So no government entities or contractors could use it. We already do this for some other companies. BOD 17-01

GrapheneOS is not a company doing business. If they’re banned, that just means Motorola can’t sell pre-installed phones, but that doesn’t change anything about the phone compatibility with GOS. You’ll have to install it yourself, just like today.

The idea is that you can sell a phone without a system, but you can always enter one in binary through the power switch. See? Win Win!
