@nitrokey@social.nitrokey.com @chrichri@social.librem.one @martijnbraam@fosstodon.org The problem is, your phone has the same binaries for izat as everyone with a qualcomm from Alcatel to ZTE. And it's OK,this is all part of Qcom SDK and unless you RE'ng all of it you must keep it in place so the phone works as a phone.But accusing others with something that their ODM/OEM provides when you are using the same stuff seems unethical.

@nitrokey@social.nitrokey.com @chrichri@social.librem.one @martijnbraam@fosstodon.org And even if grapheneOS has them bundled but doesn't actually use them (which wouldn't make much sense but I don't have the hw),the point still stands.Complain about Qualcomm not being transparent enough, but don't talk shit about other phone makers when it's someone else who wrote that piece of software, just to scrap some sales, I'm sure you can find better ways to show your phone is better for privacy than others without resorting to articles written like that
