There is a well-funded propaganda machine pushing the idea that phones can be "private." They cannot. Baseband, firmware, carriers, sensors, and in-app tracking like ads, analytics, SDKs, and push all leak data. GrapheneOS is the flagship myth. It is sponsored by Mullvad, a for-profit VPN, and funded by tech billionaires like Jack Dorsey. It polishes the surface but ultimately helps normalize smartphones instead of rejecting them. A privacy-friendly smartphone is technically impossible.

someone explain braxman to me, i don't know or care for the rest
i really hate this ai slop style
>>109829842just another privacy grifter who wants to sell his snakeoil products.
In the case of Jack Dorsey and Naomi Brockwell, you also get overlap with right-libertarian Bitcoin cultists
>>109829820It's all about the money. Although Grapheneos presents itself as a non-profit organization, they only do what they do when the cash flows. They do it because it's how they make money. That's why they hate Lineage, Calyx, etc., so much. Not because they're actually worse, but because they're competitors in the privacy grifter business.
>>109830033The Privacy Grifter community are classic opportunists. They're only interested in money and not in political or ideological affiliation. Just look at Grapheneos' posts on Mastodon or X: on mastodon they talk like leftists about climate protection and co2 emissions, while on X they speak like libertarians who are fighting against the state. Opportunists.
>>109829820>>109830033>Naomi BrockwellShe is famous just because she is a woman. Her fanbase is *ALL* cucks simps.
>>109829820why does this make the chuds seethe
>>109830035>Not because they're actually worse,aren't they?
>>109829820There are layers of privacy you are basically a huge faggot>you can't hide your location its impossibleYeah not shit it's a wireless network exposing your location is part of using the fucking network. When people talk about privacy they're talking about not having Google or Apple siphon all their data. They are well aware their telecom has their data.Idiot.Kill yourself.
>"GRIFTERS!!1!"okay, proofs?
>>109830126the ai picture said so, so it must be true
>>109830119>There are layers of privacyThis ideology serves to normalize surveillance. Your "layers" would have been absolutely unacceptable 20 years ago. No normal person would accept that.
I wish anyone had real documented and properly sourced criticisms on GOSas when it comes to tech, security and privacy that would allow for interesting discussion and genuine improvements, maybe even creating better alternativessadly it's all ai shit, because retards can't think for themselves and do a little bit of research by themselves
>>109830270then tell me: why is it forbidden to question google and lenovo? why is it forbidden to talk about PRISM? why do grapheneos cultists hate these topics so much?
>>109830270why are graphene cultists trying to normalize smartphones, the ultimate surveillance device?
>>109830284how so? I don't think any graphene user would forbid you to question those companies, I'm pretty sure all of them would dislike prism, and are using graphene to distance from google, lenovo prism or whatever as much as possible while still retaining good usability without being an outcast from society who has no phone (which would nuke your ability to retain a social life, engaging with admninistrative shit from work/government/whatever shitty app companies force on their users)in fact the biggest issue I see with new graphene users is they when they switch to it they always want to get rid of all the google shit and then need support because their device doesn't work exactly as their old spyware device didI doubt any graphene user would hate shitting on google, that's like an implicit prerequirement for installing the os in the first placeyou're free to shit on google all you want, and there is a lot of things to shit on, so why don't you? why do you keep shitting on graphene instead? why does an os that is trying to distance itself as much and as best as it can from all this shit you want to criticize (but never actually do btw) hurts you so much? why can't you encourage the effort instead?
>>109830270>sadly it's all aihe doesn't know grapheneos itself is ai slop
>his privacy os doesn't have AI-generated FUD threads spammed 24/7 on a dying imageboardNGMI
>>109829820that style of ai pic has negative validity. you hurt your argument by using it. i am not anti-ai but that style is facebook boomer tier and voids your argument. you need to think about your presentation
>>109829820>AIslop pic>irrelevant time-wasting question
>>109830468grapheneos is ai slop.
>>109830445then do it better, retard. the truth is universal. nobody stops you to present the nasty truth about grapheneos in the way you like it.
>>109829820>ai thumbnailOn to the trash it goes
>>109830117>still using these "feature comparisons" that are made to make one side look like the only real choice in 2026
>>109829820shill demoralization thread ignore all fields
>>109829820just posting to say this is true, you're literally carrying dystopian big brother device with you, never fool yourself
>>109829820alright, then why aren't you writing your congress representatives to regulate surveillance devices?>"b-but it doesn't work!"then why aren't you torching government buildings?
>>109830736better than using boomer AI shitif your side is so much better you're free to make your own graph proving ituntil then your opinion doesn't matter
>>109830983>noo you must accept the lies of the system!
>>109831015>AI shityour favourite android wrapper is AI shit.
>>109830983they like freedom and hamburgers so not worth it
>>109831015I'm using neither, I'm just tired of seeing such blatantly biased shitI guess it's better than equally biased but hiding it shit but still it's bad
>>109831040proof: none>>109831053how is it biased? it's simply stating facts, none of it are opinions
>>109830284>why is it forbidden to question googleDoes this not count?https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/41564-pixel-11-doesnt-yet-meet-the-grapheneos-security-standards-and-may-be-skipped
