@watchfulcitizen @GrapheneOS Certified baguette here; I just checked, because I was really surprised that this was happening, and it looks like it's right-wing leaning journals that are doing this... So I'd chalk this up to the usual fearmongering, and not something widespread (e.g. Le Monde hasn't written anything about it, and they're IMO far more grounded and diligent). Here's an article on a (small) French tech site, noting the altercation before pointing out that @GrapheneOS went on conspiratory-like afterwards... I side with the final paragraph, stating more or less that we're all trying our best, and bashing each other's gonna lead somewhere. https://linuxfr.org/users/hellpe/journaux/le-parisien-qualifie-grapheneos-de-botte-secrete-des-narcotrafiquants-les-devs-n-apprecient-pas "*Le Parisien* calls GrapheneOS a secret trump card for drug dealers, devs are miffed" PS: I happen to type this from a iodéOS phone, because I decided to buy a Fairphone out of ethical reasons, and thus GrapheneOS was a non-starter. Consider that this kind of reasoning might be at play for why they're receiving government funding and not you, not just conspiracies?

  • @issotm @watchfulcitizen > and it looks like it's right-wing leaning journals that are doing this That's not true. They're doing it because state agencies contacted them. Most of the articles are quotes. Do you consider state-funded news in France to be right wing? There's a massive amount of coverage based on inaccurate claims from state agencies, not the journalists. The journalists are not doing their job by taking that as fact and not giving a chance for us to respond to specifics, sure.
