It certainly feels like GrapheneOS is the only project that is a threat to the government, which we all know have unlimited resources at their disposal, unlike Graphene Foundation.
this narrative that criminals use this OS, is exactly the excuse they'll be looking for, the privacy community don't have the high ground in this reality that we live in, considering past events (e.g. chat control) this content does more harm than good. (but some YouTuber has to get their Ad revenue)
he mentioned something about convenience in the last part, well if you throw them some money.. they could hire someone to fix those issues..
A Pixel phone in my country costs about twice as much as in the USA, and our monthly minimum wage is about four times lower... privacy is a luxury hard to afford :/
Even better... Hire someone to fix those issues and submit an MR.
