@jfr_1980@mastodon.social @lineageos@lemmy.ml @keepandroidopen@techhub.social A serious alternative to GrapheneOS is using an iPhone 17. Apple is providing strong privacy and security. They have their own end-to-end encrypted cloud services too but people can use many alternatives to those such as the Proton app suite on GrapheneOS. /e/ isn't in the same space at all and we don't consider it competition. We worry about what Apple is implementing and how we can stay ahead / keep up, not a project doing nearly the opposite of us.

@GrapheneOS @jfr_1980 @lineageos @keepandroidopen Thanks for pointing out those problems, but suggesting an iPhone as reply to a toot about avoiding American corporate control seems a bit off.

@jfr_1980@mastodon.social @lineageos @keepandroidopen@techhub.social The reason we have a major issue with /e/ and Murena is because they've spent years misinforming people about GrapheneOS as part of falsely marketing their products/services. It's very much a for-profit company putting money about ethics. /e/ also has a separate non-profit which is used to build the products for the for-profit while funding them with grants / donations. The same people control both and are directly profiting from the supposed non-profit.
