GrapheneOS 1d ago

@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 @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 💜.
