  • they advertise themselves as degoogled, but instead let you connect to Google/Microsoft/etc services

  • replace all the proprietary not at all Secure Services from Google, with.... Drumroll please.... Proprietary and not at all Secure Services from themselves and actively encourage it.

  • They are For-profit

  • and being MORE out of date then even Fairphones stock roms.

Ah, so the paranoid folks at Graphene OS WERE RIGHT!

You can never be "too paranoid" if they ARE, in fact, out to get you.

It's not a matter of being paranoid and the GrapheneOS project members are not paranoid. It is simply a matter of Murena/eOS/Gael Duval making claims about their products that are misleading, false, and harmful to users.
