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.

a53bdbFairPhone is developed and made in China. Most factories there cruelly exploit workers. I don’t think it’s more ethical than Apple, at least you can report the Chinese factories like Foxconn to Apple and it works. And they can’t ship latest Android major releases and security patches, which makes long term support useless.
@a53bdb Fairphone pays their workers a higher wage. But I didnt mention that I was talking about modern slavery in mineral extraction.
@ambiguous_yelp @a53bdb If that's the case, how much are the workers at Fairphone's ODM paid compared to the ones working for Foxconn on iPhones?
Can you provide evidence there's less slavery involved in the supply chain for Fairphone's than iPhones?
Fairphone also uses a lot of standard components. Are you saying they have a more ethical Qualcomm SoC, display and similar components despite them being standard off-the-shelf components? Are those taken into account when comparing to iPhones?
@GrapheneOS @ambiguous_yelp China is a highly corrupt capitalist country, not the so-called socialism or communism. Officials and capitalists jointly exploit the people at the bottom. Without supervision like Apple, they will try their best to continue to exploit workers.
