@GrapheneOS @jsa @Fnordinger @cutesobri GOS also gives me way more control over my own phone, and honestly that's something everyone should want.

Secure and private software is for anyone who wants to use it, and for varying amounts of threat level. The amount of privacy, security, and control that GOS provides *should* just be the baseline for every mobile OS, but companies like Murena and /e/OS muddy the waters with misleading marketing.

Security/privacy theatre is dangerous.

@GrapheneOS @jsa @Fnordinger @cutesobri The entire point that GOS is only used by criminals is such an exhausted and cliche argument at this point. It's used against almost any privacy/security project. It's the same argument that governments use to justify encryption backdoors, age verification, and many other invasive technologies.

I'm a "law-abiding citizen" by every metric and rulebook, but I use GrapheneOS because I don't want Google and many other companies tracking everything I do.

@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.
