    “If GrapheneOS devices can’t be sold in a region due to their regulations, so be it.”

    Wonder if Motorola feels the same way.

      They can just sell their normal phone. As long as the user is able to run the installer it doesn’t really matter.

        During prohibition era, there was a brick of dried grapes being sold as a nutrition supplement or something like that, but it had a “warning” sticker attached saying specifically not to dissolve it in a specific quantity of water, and if that were to happen, do not let a specific quantity of yeast to fall in it, and especially not to let it sit for 6 weeks, or else you might end up with wine, which is forbidden!

        I can see a cheeky sort of company selling a phone with a little warning label attached to it…

          I believe the US and Brazil are the only countries in the world forcing age verification. They chose to pull their infrastructure out of France bit there is no ban on the sale of devices with it installed.

            Germany has been discussing this for a while now. So are other EU states.

            It’s always the same. “We need to catch the pedophiles, end e2e” or “the Internet is not a lawless space, give us id”.

              Well, instead of us sitting here talking about GrapheneOS, an Android based system, why aren’t we all talking about pure Linux based phones instead of feeding into the duopoly of Google/Apple?
