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.

However, we don’t have a “hardened security” approach, we aren’t developing a phone for pedo(censored) so they can evade justice.

    I can’t believes he’s intentionally anti-privacy. Occam’s razor suggests he’s instead a fucking idiot.

      Yeah maybe. But whether it’s intentional or not, I would not want to use /e/os.

      But also, from the linked thread:

      Murena is a for-profit company owned by shareholders including Gaël Duval. /e/ has a non-profit organization which is also led by Gaël Duval. /e/ includes paid services from Murena. /e/ very clearly exists to build products for Murena to sell in order to enrich the shareholders.

      Despite being done for profit, /e/ receives millions of euros in funding from the EU on an ongoing basis. /e/ and Murena use extraordinarily inaccurate marketing to not only promote their products/services but also to mislead people about GrapheneOS and scare them away from it.

        Graphene made an OS only for Google phones. I can see what they mean here, but not sure they have room to talk regardless of the security circumstances.

        It is shitty if there was a smear campaign against them though.

        Oh agreed. I wouldn’t want to install an OS from a fucking idiot either.

        (And I take your point that said idiot may also be a dishonest slime ball.)
