  Looks like Micay stepped down as leader of the project in 2023?

  That's not at all correct. Members of GrapheneOS readily admit when there are things that can be improved, but will call out misinformation when needed. The fact that you're bringing up the Rossmann video after saying that is very telling. There's a huge difference between technical discussion and what was very clearly an attack by Rossmann. He clearly knew what he was doing. The video was made shortly after GrapheneOS's founder was swatted. He was understandably upset about that and with Rossmann and Rossmann recorded a private conversation and used that to attack not only GrapheneOS, but also its founder in an attempt to harm GrapheneOS's reputation. Louis didn't actually stop using GrapheneOS, so that part was a lie. It's clear that he was still using GrapheneOS in his later videos. It's pretty low to bring that video up here. If you have a real technical issue with GrapheneOS, then you could bring that up instead.

Isn't it strange how graphenecheck, draftendirekt, and dontleakkeys were all made less than 6 hours ago and are the only three participating in this discussion? Anyway... The response to Braxman was after he posted a video calling GrapheneOS's founder crazy and made up a whole bunch of lies about the state of GrapheneOS, then plugged his own product. Clearly trying to damage GrapheneOS while helping himself at the same time. https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/114824444524603470 https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/114824444524603470 The thread about a state sponsored attack came after a sudden flurry of news articles about GrapheneOS being used by criminals and claims that devices running GrapheneOS have been exploited with 0 evidence https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/114784469162979608 https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/114784469162979608 F-Droid's approach is incorrect. GrapheneOS adds the sensors permission the same way that upstream AOSP adds and splits permissions, so F-Droid blaming GrapheneOS for an issue with their app is incorrect. People should read https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/114790171247296048 https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/114790171247296048 for more info.

> The GrapheneOS author frequently claims to be targeted by many actors, governments, other open source projects... GrapheneOS is an open source project with many project members including many developers. It isn't one person as you're portraying it. GrapheneOS has been attacked by many people, of which there is ample verifiable evidence. > GrapheneOS has only ever posted about Braxman in response to his misinformation about us. In his latest video attacking us, he engages in clear libel towards our team. It's easy for people to verify this and to see that this is a charlatan selling insecure products/services. We linked to content from a security researcher who has never been involved in our project going through his content and products/services evaluating it. Other security researchers have done the same. > GrapheneOS is currently under a state sponsored attack attempting to misrepresent it as being for criminals People can verify there were multiple news article in Spain from law enforcement contacting publications and portraying GrapheneOS as being for criminals. There were then hundreds of news stories based on those. None of these publications contacted us, but several do say they talked to Spanish law enforcement. We consider a state spreading clear misinformation about GrapheneOS and our userbase to be a state sponsored attack. We explained very clearly what was happening and did not portray it as anything other than what it was. > Due to F-Droid deliberately causing friction and annoyances for GrapheneOS users People can see for themselves they're doing this. Multiple F-Droid developers were involved in the company which tried to take over our project in 2018 and have continued on attacking the project since then. That takeover attempt in 2018 is where nearly all the attacks on GrapheneOS originate. > There's currently an example of one of these attacks on the project ongoing across Swedish forums and social media. This is accurate information and it's easy to verify it's happening. We didn't speculate about the origin of these attacks. Your own post from a sockpuppet account demonstrating the attacks on our project including harassment towards our development team where people baselessly claim that I'm insane, delusional, etc. and push fabricated stories about it. Several other freshly created sockpuppet accounts can be seen here too.
