@issotm@social.treehouse.systems @watchfulcitizen@goingdark.social Those operating systems also typically go many months and even many years without providing kernel, driver and firmware patches. For example, on Pixels, they haven't provided those patches since Android 16 was released in June 2025. We backported those patches to Android 15 QPR2 and then shipped Android 16 in June 2025.
GrapheneOS successfully protects from sophisticated exploit tools such as Cellebrite Premium despite significant efforts from them to compromise it.

@issotm@social.treehouse.systems @watchfulcitizen@goingdark.social The reason France is going after GrapheneOS is because of the much stronger level of security against exploits than other devices. The reason they want to force inclusion of a backdoor is because multiple advanced commercial exploit tool products which work fine against other Android devices don't work again it. Here's a thread with a previous example, although note we have ongoing access to current documentation for these tools: https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/14344-cellebrite-premium-july-2024-documentation
