Yesterday we told you about Jolla appearing on Viiden Jälkeen by Finnish national TV channel MTV. Today they published the full story! 🎉

MTV wrote about digital sovereignty and whether a Finnish mobile operating system could be the European alternative (article in Finnish 🇫🇮). There are only four mobile operating systems in the world: two American, one Chinese — and Sailfish OS. The only truly European one.

Suomalaiskännykästä turvallinen vaihtoehto jättifirmoista irti haluaville? Entisten Nokia-insinöörien Jolla tekee paluuta

Euroopassa on herätty pohtimaan digitaalista riippuvuutta Yhdysvalloista. Voisiko suomalainen mobiilikäyttöjärjestelmä olla eurooppalainen vaihtoehto amerikkalaisten vallalle?

If really - Jolla truly russian, not europe

@skersis @jolla Its European. Finnland is European. RuSSia has nothing to do with that.

Do you think it is suitable for:
government phones,
the military,
intelligence,
critical infrastructure,
communications among high-ranking officials?
Why?

@skersis @Hummel @jolla Why not? If you have something to criticize, spit it out and don't try to pretend you are some mysterious wizard with secret knowledge

Jolla raises concerns because its Sailfish OS was previously used in Russian government projects and supported by state-linked investors. Even if those ties were later cut, it still raises questions about trust and security.

@skersis @ItsePerkele Doesn't really raise concerns, I don't see any reason not to use the OS in critical places. Most parts outside of UI components are open source, anyone can check themselves.

What Jolla did in Ruzzia was to make a fork of their operating system and customisation to that for Ruzzian government needs. Even if state linked investor owner ~20% at their peak, it doesn't put Jolla in risk. Dev tasks of actual OS stayed whole time in Finland. Jolla started to leavy Rus in 2021

@skersis @ItsePerkele So I can assure you, Jolla is not Ruzzian, whole operating system is and was developed in Finland (well part of it in US probably, as Intel was partner with Nokia for Meego). The operating system were NOT developed in Ruzzia or in co-operation with Ruzzia. Reason Jolla ever went to Ruzzia was that there were no interest of independent OS inside Europe which led to financial constrains. Luckily times have changed
