    How does the government ban an os? Can’t is a strong word, but I don’t see that happening. It’s a Canadian based foundation, not a Chinese or Russian company where they could argue national security in the same way they did with Huawei or TikTok.

    It’s more likely a federal os-level age verification law gets passed and grapheneOS compromises or backs out out of the US market.

      GrapheneOS is not a company doing business. If they’re banned, that just means Motorola can’t sell pre-installed phones, but that doesn’t change anything about the phone compatibility with GOS. You’ll have to install it yourself, just like today.
