Volla has created a highly anti-competitive alternative to the Play Integrity API which they're pushing for European banking and government apps to adopt. They want to seize control over which hardware and OSes are allowed by EU banking and governments apps. Their system will permit their own products and those of other companies working with them while banning GrapheneOS and most other operating systems and alternative hardware options. https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/116200110686604617

Our followers are heavily split across Bluesky, the Mastodon and X. We're stuck keeping our posts compatible with each platform. We'd rather write our content in Markdown where everyone can see the formatting and not have it split across a bunch of posts sized to fit within Bluesky's limit. It wouldn't make sense to write content specifically for Mastodon beyond our replies or rare cases we're posting something about our Mastodon instance.

We provided a series of replies with nuanced and well informed takes on email security which go against the beliefs of the dominant posters on Hacker News. As a result, they're relentlessly targeting us with inaccurate claims about our project and team including personal attacks.

WIRED (@WIRED) has gone ahead with publishing an extraordinarily inaccurate article about GrapheneOS. It presents a highly inaccurate history of the GrapheneOS project heavily based on fabrications from James Donaldson. WIRED failed to incorporate most of our responses to his inaccurate claims.

GrapheneOS is a highly usable, production quality OS built for everyone. It has compatibility with nearly every Android app. It's built for the masses and has a larger userbase. It has far better app compatibility and usability than /e/. GrapheneOS is a privacy project heavily investing in improving privacy and security on a fundamental level. /e/ doesn't work on improving those in similar ways. /e/ greatly reduces both privacy and security compared to the Android Open Source Project.

The editors of Wired (@wired.com) appear determined to turn an article about GrapheneOS into a hit piece. Wired contacted James Donaldson, CEO of Copperhead, and appears to be treating his thoroughly debunked fabrications about the history of the project as their primary source. This is outrageous.

/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.

We have an OEM partnership with Motorola working towards a subset of their future devices providing all of our requirements for updates and hardware-based security features along with official GrapheneOS support. https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/116159602850585685 GrapheneOS requires substantial work to be done for each supported device to provide the privacy and security features it offers. Hardware needs to support what it uses including hardware memory tagging and a secure element with the APIs for AOSP.

> I'm waiting for the Motorola-Graphene partnership before I switch from OnePlus. Initial devices meeting the requirements are coming in 2027 and likely not at the start of the year. > and perhaps FDroid F-Droid doesn't provide decent security and has never prioritized it. They've taken many anti-security standards and are hostile towards the GrapheneOS project including deliberately showing inaccurate warnings on GrapheneOS and misleading users about it. We recommend against it.
