@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...

@GrapheneOS And you really think that a thread on a niche microblogging platform helps promoting your product and vision? Don't you have a homepage to put your beef on which you could link instead of filling the timeline of your followers?

I'm interested in GrapheneOS, not whatever beef you have with others.

@truhe @GrapheneOS

Why do you automatically assume the goal is promotion? GrapheneOS is not a business and doesnt provide a product. Youre trying to downplay serious issues with implicitly juvenile descriptors to make it seem frivolous, but its not. Last I checked, providing accurate information for others to educate themselves was a good thing.

@HybridStaticAnimate Last time I checked they announced a long term partnership with Motorola preloading Graphene OS starting 2027. So it's also about promotion. And I'm not against correcting false claims, but ALL I'm seeing here is a beef I'm absolutely not interested in and never is a microblogging platform a good way to correct those things in many threads over many days. They have a homepage, which they don't use. They don't even mention Motorola on their page.

@truhe

This is not accurate. They announced a partnership with Motorola but they did not announce devices with GrapheneOS preinstalled, whether or not they can do that still needs to be determined. And if they cant, thats fine, that was never a requirement of the partnership.

Money isnt exchanging hands. GrapheneOS does not currently profit from this. Youre falsely tying this to promotion. Its just an announcement on future plans.

And GrapheneOS doesnt yet support Motorola devices so there is little reason to put it on any page.

This isnt beef, and your interest in the situation is irrelevant. Countering misinformation at the source is an effective method and has been better than other methods for a very long time. People are going to blindly believe the first thing they read or hear if its not countered, and they arent going to go to an unrelated page that they have no idea exists.

@truhe @HybridStaticAnimate No, that's an outrageously false claim. We've been debunking misleading claims by Murena and /e/ on GrapheneOS for several years and they've been engaging in it far longer than that. Unlike Murena, GrapheneOS isn't a for-profit business with the goal of promoting products to make as much money as possible. A major part of our goals is informing people about privacy, security and GrapheneOS which we're doing with these threads addressing inaccurate info about it.

@GrapheneOS I understand that. I will unfollow you then, because I wanted to get news on Graphene OS, not corrections of stuff Murena said and wish you and your project the best. I'm eagerly waiting for next year for non-Google phones arriving for GOS to switch to it 💜.
