GrapheneOS partnering with Motorola sounds great until you remember Motorola is Lenovo. a Chinese-owned company. the same assholes that shipped Superfish, preinstalled adware with a root CA that broke HTTPS on their own customers' laptops. they didn't fail at privacy. they chose to attack it for profit. cunts
now these assholes control the bootloader, the baseband, the entire supply chain for your privacy phone. GrapheneOS can harden the OS all day. doesn't matter if the hardware underneath is compromised. Lenovo got caught, paid a fine, moved on. nothing changed
more people getting a privacy-first phone is a win. handing that to a company that already sold out its users makes it smell like a honeypot
