GrapheneOSThis is an extreme misrepresentation of both what Gaël Duval said in this interview and our response to it. What he clearly said is that /e/ and Murena aren't providing security hardening which he claims is only useful for pedophiles, criminals and spies. Gaël Duval has repeatedly said this in his posts including ones where he directly says GrapheneOS is only useful for pedophiles, criminals and spies. We can show archives of numerous posts with him saying exactly that.
🌱🏴🅰️🏳️⚧️🐧🔧📎 Ambiyelp@GrapheneOS I would switch to grapheneOS if I could use it on fairphone because I believe in an absolute right to privacy its not just for abusers. I'm not going to get a phone other than the fairphone because it's more important to me that there is no slavery and conflict minerals used in the phone and the modularity is a nice plus too. So unless grapheneOS supports a phone that has these features I can't ethically justify buying a phone without them just to use it.

Daniël@ambiguous_yelp @GrapheneOS maybe buying a second-hand Pixel is an option? Re-using a phone is a great way of reducing the impact of phone production.
Fairphone is bad when it comes to security. It doesn't have a secure element like the Titan M2 in the Pixel (only TrustZone) and their kernels, firmware blobs etc. are way outdated. Even on the FP6 they are still shipping firmware blobs from June last year, even though Qualcomm does monthly security bulletins.
@ambiguous_yelp @GrapheneOS For comparison, Apple added a secure element to iPhones in the 5s in 2013 (!). Google added the first Titan M secure element to the Pixel 3 in 2018: https://blog.google/products-and-platforms/devices/pixel/titan-m-makes-pixel-3-our-most-secure-phone-yet/
Fairphone, Volla, etc. are waaay behind when it comes to device security and I would never recommend these devices to anyone.
(You cannot have privacy without security.)
