No, he uses fans, team AND sockpuppet accounts to harass, witch hunt and abuse people as he wishes to. I would be very happy if Kiwifarms gets behind him, as they did with Keffals aka miss catboy ranch.
No, he hates them because he was mocked deservedly by Tor devs, if you followed the Tor Project mailing list. This clown actually believes in Google's vision and helps monopolise the open free web.
If this is what you took away from mandatory shutter sound horror, then GrapheneOS should make it more compliant with governments by adding certified spyware from USA, China, Russia, India, Germany, France, Israel, Canada, Australia etc. He should make it maximum compliant with governments and spying agencies. There is no need for privacy or security, just be a good model citizen! No need to hide anything! Are you are criminal or terrorist or pedo?
I seriously think you are a bad actor simping for GrapheneOS, looking at the reductionist arguments you are inventing continously to defend them.
Should have added the uwu, cat and heart emojis to make him look even less malicious. Github commits tell me otherwise. This tells me you did not do one ounce of research and are a victim of his propaganda that you are continuously parroting.
I refuse to take you seriously after this.
At the very least, you have adequately shown me that the developer is too unstable to be able to guarantee the OS remains secure. Next time I'll use Calyx OS since they are pretty much the sane anyway.
I do want to point out that:
Technically the email you linked showed that he hated TOR beforehand, then the devs (rightly) mocked his reasoning, we were both right.
Please do not twist my words, though I understand once you assume someone is a bad actor you (quite understandably) give up. My point is that software should not be configured to break the law by default. Why would a user want something that breaks the law when first installed, when most users want to follow the law? Ideally software like this should have separate "legally compliment" and "freedom" branches but I argue having the first one is better then the second one in most cases.
All that being said, enjoy your day
I always recommend CalyxOS and LineageOS in place of Graphene, as they are sane, welcoming, and are comfortable with criticism. They also do not have a gatekeeping or censoring nature wrt community.
I am not twisting, I was just being comical and absurd. Privacy and security both as concepts and as software/hardware are incompatible with the nature of intrusive governments and agencies. You cannot even travel to Japan with a pair of scissors, folding, small, does not matter. So this shutter sound crap does not make sense to justify either.
Custom ROMs do not need to or should try to be "compliant", but focus on protecting privacy seekers and be transparent and welcoming on developer/community end of things. Anything should focus on empowering the masses first.
