Kuketz-Blog 🛡Apr 12

Ich bin dem offiziellen GrapheneOS-Konto gerade entfolgt – nicht, weil ich das Projekt nicht schätze. Im Gegenteil: GrapheneOS ist im Bereich mobiler Sicherheit/Privacy weiterhin die beste Option.

Was mich stört, sind die ständigen Seitenhiebe auf /e/OS, CalyxOS und andere Custom-ROMs - auch wenn die Kritik völlig legitim ist. Aber ich folge dem Account, um etwas über GrapheneOS zu lesen, nicht um regelmäßig zu erfahren, was andere in den Sand setzen. Wer ein starkes Projekt hat, sollte es für sich sprechen lassen.

@kuketzblog LineageOS is by far the most used alternative mobile OS and yet we don't have threads on our timeline about it. That's because LineageOS as an organization isn't misleading people about GrapheneOS and trying to harm us.

/e/ and their supporters are engaging in concerted efforts to mislead people about GrapheneOS and cause personal harm to our team. Each of our threads about it has been made to provide accurate information in response to their inaccurate claims about GrapheneOS.

@kuketzblog /e/ has spent years widely propagating inaccurate claims that GrapheneOS isn't a privacy project, doesn't work on privacy, isn't aimed at regular people, isn't usable, isn't compativle with apps, is difficult to install and much more.

/e/ have repeatedly pushed the false claim that GrapheneOS is primarily useful to criminals and that the userbase largely consists of criminals. They've expanded this to claiming security hardening primarily benefits criminals.

@kuketzblog Legitimate privacy projects and organizations would not push the narrative that privacy and security are primarily beneficial to criminals or that the userbase of projects like GrapheneOS and Signal primarily consists of criminals. This isn't a one time incident but rather a consistent narrative from /e/.

/e/ and Murena laid the groundwork for France's national law enforcement and corporate/state media using the same talking points to attack the GrapheneOS project alongside them.

@kuketzblog France's national law enforcement has increasingly gone after apps and devices which are regarded as providing people with privacy and security regardless of the merit to that marketing. In their interviews with the media about GrapheneOS, they made direct reference to past arrests and server takeovers targeting multiple companies and said they would go after us similarly if they could justify it. This is a serious matter and efforts by /e/ and Murena to help them are a big deal.

@GrapheneOS Also me, a huge fan of GrapheneOS, never touched these brands, feels irritated of this posting flood advertising other OS. As always, also bad news is news, mentioning others by name is the wrong way. Posting the hugh advantages of GrapheneOS maybe also with telling the people out there what it is and what others - without naming them - have not is fine an good to introduce #GrapheneOS as OS and brand.

For other things probably a lawyer filing things is better.
