The drama and accusations the GrapheneOS developers are spewing and engaging in are giving me a bad taste in the mouth and make me doubt the OS’s reliability am I the only one?

    What’s the “French smear campaign”? Where do I get paid to participate?
    So far all I’ve seen is a single newspaper making an article about how criminals like GrapheneOS, a clickbait even Linus used on his channel - you know what, I suspect Linus is being financed by the French as well!

    As for why: Those videos show how the “drama and accusations” work. The Boy Who Called Wolf.
    If France is becoming hostile to privacy though, great that he is moving out, GrapheneOS is still by far the best mobile project for privacy. It would probably benefit greatly if its main dev didn’t spend so much time on social media.

      Sure, it would also benefit it if the French state weren’t going after a civilian project… I will grant it’s a lot, but how would YOU react to a G7 member state going after you with a smear campaign?

        I don’t think that one cop that one journalist interviewed is a representative of a G7 country, I actually believe he is representing the whole NATO! Run Daniel! Run!
