@projetslibres_podcast @Framasoft The claims made about GrapheneOS in this interview are extremely inaccurate. It heavily misrepresents the purpose of GrapheneOS and what we've worked on for years. The claim GrapheneOS is a security project rather than a privacy project is misinformation. Contacts are specifically brought up and yet our Contact Scopes feature is ignored. @fla knows GrapheneOS is a privacy project. He replied to a thread with our response to this misinformation only 4 days ago...
@projetslibres_podcast @Framasoft @fla /e/ doesn't keep up with providing standard Android privacy patches and protections. It doesn't provide features comparable to the added privacy protections in GrapheneOS including but not at all limited to Storage Scopes, Contact Scopes, Sensors toggle, per-connection Wi-Fi MAC/DHCP privacy and far more. /e/ has a bunch of default connections to Google services and gives highly privileged access to those. It also bundles other invasive services in the OS.

@projetslibres_podcast @Framasoft @fla GrapheneOS heavily improves privacy compared to the Android Open Source Project in contrast with /e/ heavily reducing it.

GrapheneOS is far ahead of the standard pace for privacy patches instead of behind and we fix many privacy weaknesses ourselves. We've fixed a bunch of Android VPN leaks and many forms of data leaks to apps.

Since GrapheneOS is a serious privacy project, we have to put substantial work into security too because privacy depends on it.

@GrapheneOS @projetslibres_podcast @Framasoft @fla I'm using /e OS on my Fairphone 4. I want to switch to Graphene, but I don't know how, and I'm scared of losing all my stuff.

You need to backup your data first and then put them back in the phone after the installation. If you're not too technical, I'm sure there can be someone in your area to help you.

@FelixTheAnimator @GrapheneOS @projetslibres_podcast @Framasoft @fla I dont think you can install GrapheneOS on a Fairphone, only Pixel devices are officially supported:

I suggest buying a used Pixel, installing GrapheneOS on it, playing around, then migrating your stuff over when you are comfortable. Nice and slow - nothing to be scared of. Graphene is very easy to install if you follow the official instructions.
GrapheneOS Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to frequently asked questions about GrapheneOS.

GrapheneOS
@FelixTheAnimator @[email protected] @projetslibres_podcast @Framasoft @fla you cannot, GrapheneOS founder hates Fairphone because they provide phones with /e/OS and because they are European.
@lajuste Well damn. I have one & I'm in the States. You sure there's no way to fix it?
@FelixTheAnimator it's not about fixing, it's about a project decision so just stay with /e/OS it work and it is olan to be supported with Android security updates for a lot of years, probably more longer than the official support
