    I’m worried that with all the legal attempts by governments around the world trying to undermine privacy and encryption and enforce ID verification and total surveillance, Motorola might get cold feet about the deal. There are powerful people in many countries who would love to make GrapheneOS illegal.

      Let’s hope that doesn’t happen. Graphene is BY FAR our best option, by a large margin.

        It’s not, postmarketOS or even SailfishOS are much better, because they don’t depend on Android,
