@globcoco @apps @christian_freiherr_von_wolff It's not how it works. If you use GrapheneOS, none of this impacts you.

@globcoco @apps @christian_freiherr_von_wolff You need one of the devices meeting our hardware requirements which are supported by GrapheneOS.Samsung Galaxy devices either do not allow installing another OS or cripple the device's functionality including hardware-based security features if you use one. Galaxy S9 is also end-of-life since a long time ago and lacks driver/firmware security patches along with not having modern security features.See here:https://grapheneos.org/faq#device-support

@martijndevrieze @Tutanota Where does the error occur and what does it say? It sounds like it could be a network issue with your VPN, DNS or ISP.

We were contacted by a journalist at Le Parisien newspaper with this prompt:> I am preparing an article on the use of your secure personal data phone solution by drug traffickers and other criminals. Have you ever been contacted by the police?

> Are you aware that some of your clients might be criminals? And how does the company manage this issue?Absolutely no further details were provided about what was being claimed, who was making it or the basis for those being made about it. We could only provide a very generic response to this.

Our response was heavily cut down and the references to human rights organizations, large tech companies and others using GrapheneOS weren't included. Our response was in English was translated by them: "we have no clients or customers" was turned into "nous n’avons ni clients ni usagers", etc...

GrapheneOS is a freely available open source privacy project. It's obtained from our website, not shady dealers in dark alleys and the "dark web". It doesn't have a marketing budget and we certainly aren't promoting it through unlisted YouTube channels and the other nonsense that's being claimed.

GrapheneOS has no such thing as the fake Snapchat feature that's described. What they're describing appears to be forks of GrapheneOS by shady companies infringing on our trademark. Those products may not even be truly based on GrapheneOS, similar to how ANOM used parts of it to pass it off as such.

France is an increasingly authoritarian country on the brink of it getting far worse. They're already very strong supporters of EU Chat Control. Their fascist law enforcement is clearly ahead of the game pushing outrageous false claims about open source privacy projects. None of it is substantiated.

iodéOS and /e/OS are based in France. iodéOS and /e/OS make devices dramatically more vulnerable while misleading users about privacy and security. These fake privacy products serve the interest of authoritarians rather than protecting people. /e/OS receives millions of euros in government funding.

Those lag many months to years behind on providing standard Android privacy and security patches. They heavily encourage users to use devices without working disk encryption and important security protections. Their users have their data up for grabs by apps, services and governments who want it.

There's a reason they're going after a legitimate privacy and security project developed outside of their jurisdiction rather than 2 companies based in France within their reach profiting from selling 'privacy' products.https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/24134-devices-lacking-standard-privacysecurity-patches-and-protections-arent-privateHere's that article:https://archive.is/AhMsj

There's another article posted at https://www.lefigaro.fr/secteur/high-tech/qu-est-ce-que-grapheneos-ce-logiciel-detourne-par-certains-trafiquants-pour-supprimer-les-informations-de-leur-telephone-20251119. We don't have a subscription to access it so we can't evaluate whether the coverage is fairer. Need our community to check. There's an ongoing attempt to smear GrapheneOS by French government agencies so there will be more articles.

The reality is that a tiny proportion of the GrapheneOS userbase are criminals, clearly far below 1%. It's a rounding error. The vast majority of criminals use Android and iOS. French law enforcement contains a vastly higher proportion of criminals than the GrapheneOS userbase.

French law enforcement has a disproportionately high number of domestic abusers, pedophiles and other criminals. They routinely illegally violate the human rights of French citizens. They're upset they can't break into phones of a small handful of people because of GrapheneOS.

@Tutanota Every option you're promoting has atrocious privacy and security. Each one lacks the most basic privacy and security patches/protections.You're also making highly inaccurate and misleading claims about GrapheneOS. This has been a repeated issue with Tuta. It's not surprising considering you're supporting groups not only scamming people but actively spreading misinformation about GrapheneOS and attacking our team with harassment.We're going to be publishing a response to Tuta.

@Tutanota @PaintedDurian It's not a misunderstanding. You're choosing to promote unsafe products from companies heavily involved in attacks on GrapheneOS while misleading people about those and about GrapheneOS. You've been making inaccurate claims about GrapheneOS as part of your marketing for a long time now. Our community and project has repeatedly replied to the posts but yet you've doubled down on it and continue. We'll be asking our userbase to cancel their Tuta subs to support us today.

@Tutanota @PaintedDurian Your article promotes 5 options providing poor privacy and atrocious security while making inaccurate claims in support of them and pushing false narratives about GrapheneOS. Misrepresenting GrapheneOS as being a security project rather than a privacy project and downplaying the privacy it provides is a common false narrative from multiple of the groups you're promoting attacking our project and team. That includes posting extreme harassment content towards our team.

@Tutanota @PaintedDurian Fairphone is a Google partner with their own OS having official privileged Google Mobile Services integration but yet it's on your list./e/ always connects to Google services and has highly privileged integration for Googe apps and services unavailable to other apps but yet it's on your list.You're making highly inaccurate claims to promote each of the 5 for-profit options you've included on your list including the nonsense claim that CalyxOS and Punkt are hardened.

@Tutanota @PaintedDurian You misrepresent multiple of the options you're promoting lacking basic privacy and security patches as being hardened. You're heavily promoting them as private despite them failing to provide standard privacy protections and patches.Murena has engaged in years of relentless attacks on GrapheneOS inclouding harassment towards our team. We've posted a recent example of them doing it as part of trying to take advantage of French law enforcement attacks on GrapheneOS.
