/e/ and Murena have been been promoting their products by misleading people about GrapheneOS for years. This has turned into an all out war on GrapheneOS by their company and supporters. We began regularly debunking their inaccurate claims and they try to frame it as aggression.

Apple and Google both provide support for offline speech-to-text using local models. Users can configure it to be fully offline. The Murena Voice to Text service in /e/OS sends the user's audio to OpenAI which is hidden away in their terms of service: community.e.foundation/t/voice-to-t...

Gaël Duval is the founder and president of the /e/ foundation along with the CEO of Murena. Duval and his organizations have consistently taken a stance against protecting users from exploits. In this video, he once again claims protecting against exploits is for only useful pedophiles and spies.

URIBL (uribl.com) keeps adding grapheneos.org to their blacklist. This blacklist results in emails and comments linking to our website being widely filtered across the internet. They've approved our removal request 3 times but just added us back a 4th time.

The situation with someone presenting their collaboration with us in 2018-2020 in an incorrect way appears to be resolved. We've removed our posts about the situation. We won't be getting involved as long as we're left out and our community should refrain from involvement too.

GrapheneOS regularly fixes issues in Android disclosed by Project Zero after their 90 day deadline expires. We have fixes for multiple security weaknesses found by Project Zero which are unresolved in Android. GrapheneOS actually benefits more from Google's Project Zero than upstream Android.

Google has a ton of churn with employees. They've done many rounds of layoffs and buyouts causing them to lose a lot of experience and talent. Forcing people back to the office was a massive mistake on their part. Android is severely understaffed. TAG and Project Zero are also not the Android team.

GrapheneOS is a production quality OS with a team of 10 full-time developers. It isn't a hobby project made by people in their free time. We're a far more efficient organization than Google. We have a fully remote team and coordinate the project via internal chat rooms without layers of bureaucracy.

We ship Linux kernel security patches months before the stock Pixel OS. We also regularly ship other patches to external projects much earlier and we'll expand this as we get more resources. Our security preview releases ship the standard AOSP security patches months before the stock Pixel OS too.

GrapheneOS is based on the Android Open Source Project and therefore has the standard Android security model, protections and patches as a starting point. We build major privacy and security improvements on top of the standard baseline. We benefit from their experience and resources along with ours.

Apple and Google regularly tell the media they haven't seen exploits of a specific vulnerability or exploits of devices with a security protection enabled. This is heavily misinterpreted as meaning exploits aren't happening. They don't ever find out about many successful attacks.

GrapheneOS is an open source project. Open source means it can be modified and used for any purpose including commercial ones. People making forks of GrapheneOS are supposed to rebrand it and make it clear that it's not the official GrapheneOS but rather a derivative of it.

Brazil's authoritarian age verification law became active this month. It won't be implemented by GrapheneOS. Complying would require integrating a mandatory process for each user where a third party service checks government identification and confirms a match using the camera.

GrapheneOS started in 2014 and was originally named CopperheadOS. In late 2015, the Copperhead company was founded which was meant to support the project. Copperhead didn't create CopperheadOS and didn't own or control it. Copperhead made a failed takeover attempt on it in 2018.

There are at least a dozen people spending at least several hours attacking GrapheneOS across platforms on a daily basis. It's a very strange situation. How do these people have so much time and dedication to keep making posts across platforms attacking us? It's relentless.

If apps are required to verify the hardware, operating system and their app for regulatory reasons they should use an approach supporting arbitrary roots of trust and operating systems. Android already has a standard hardware attestation system usable for this.

We aren't partnered with Motorola Solutions. It's an entirely different company from Motorola Mobility. Those haven't been part of the same company since they were split up in 2011. Motorola Mobility is a subsidiary of Lenovo. Motorola Mobility even has ThinkPad branded phones called ThinkPhones.

GrapheneOS will remain usable by anyone around the world without requiring personal information, identification or an account. GrapheneOS and our services will remain available internationally. If GrapheneOS devices can't be sold in a region due to their regulations, so be it.

We posted a thread on Mastodon addressing the underhanded attacks being made on GrapheneOS by Volla due to our opposition to their Unified Attestation API: grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/... An account previously pretending to be a fan supporting Volla has been clearly exposed as run by them.

Android provides a standard hardware attestation system with support for alternate operating systems via allowing their verified boot key fingerprints. It's mainly used with Google's root of trust and remote key provisioning service but the API supports alternative roots of trust.

We strongly oppose the Unified Attestation initiative and call for app developers supporting privacy, security and freedom on mobile to avoid it. Companies selling phones should not be deciding which operating systems people are allowed to use for apps. uattest.net

We recently asked for additional sponsored 10Gbps dedicated servers in Europe. We received over a dozen offers and are still looking into and following those up. So far, we've received a 10Gbps update server from Zare in London and a 20Gbps one in Amsterdam from Cherry Servers.

We're happy to announce a long-term partnership with Motorola. We're collaborating on future devices meeting our privacy and security standards with official GrapheneOS support. motorolanews.com/motorola-thr...
