    Interestingly, Motorola itself is doing “a large portion of the work of porting GrapheneOS to their devices”.

    …and Motorola is owned by Lenovo, which is effectively controlled by the Chinese state.

    I love GrapheneOS but jumping into bed with the CCP is bad, bad idea.

    Edit: I’m not a fan of US tech either, and this isn’t an “I hate China” post. They are both awful countries.

      Your argument is extrapolating way too much. You constructed this overcomplicated chain of thought that supposedly proves GOS sold out because… They got a manufacturer to build hardware that meets GOS requirements?

      This is no different from ZOG, deep state or Blackrock conspiracy theories.

        Actually, that’s not what I’m saying. GOS is a small team, and they’ve confirmed that most of the work has been left to Motorola/Lenovo. Given what we know about the Chinese state, its not a stretch to imagine that interference has happened.

        And I’m not arguing anything. All of what I’ve said is possible based on what we know (through verifiable information in the public domain) about the activities of the Chinese state. If you choose to call that a conspiracy theory thats up to you.
