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?

      None of the content above has anything to do with France - but he did take the opportunity to claim two other projects based on France are persecuting him as well, so he kinda has a pattern. As I commented to some other user in the other post, it’s The Boy Who Cried Wolf problem - those two videos are full of documentation of his modus operandi.

          Again, those videos aren’t about this French stuff, but about him claiming every other Android project is after him and that everyone who asks too much about his project is after him. The first video is from 2021 and the other from 2023. No relation to him claiming the French government is after him now.

              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.

                  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!

          Sure sure first it was the CalyxOS guys, then youtubers and now the French Government. Lets say it is true I don’t believe him cause he’s a crazy asshole.
