European governments would be able to block certifying GrapheneOS because we won't implement age verification, invasive client side AI scanning and other systems they're trying to impose on devices and operating systems. They can make it into a requirement to integrate these for certification. Volla, Murena and iodé are not privacy/security hardened operating systems. They do not try to protect users against authoritarian surveillance including via exploits. They do not share our goals/values.

These companies MUST NOT be allowed to successfully seize control over the compatibility of European banking/government apps with mobile devices via Unified Attestation. These companies have a view of privacy based around protecting people from Google and the US government rather than privacy from corporations and governments as a whole. They even market themselves as providing so-called digital sovereignty by giving European governments access and control instead of the American government.

@vollaficationist Europe passed Chat Control and it's clear many of the countries involved are going to be pushing additional laws to further crack down on end-to-end encryption and secure devices. France has come out as by far the strongest opponent of privacy technology among European countries and is where both iodé and Murena are based. Why would we want to participate in a system where the EU can ban GrapheneOS if we don't comply with authoritarian laws cracking down on secure devices?
