makes me feel good about it.
- Aeglaecia 8mo agowhat exactly makes you feel good about a privacy black hole with the worlds foremost anti privacy captain at the helm ?
- imcritic 8mo agoThe opportunity to be blown up by your phone upon a trigger pulled by mossad. Obviously.
- worldsavior 8mo agoAre you a terrorist? No? Then you have nothing to worry about :)
- farkanoid 8mo agoIf you have anything to hide you have nothing to fear, eh? Former Mossad Chief Yosi Cohen bragged about having booby trapped and otherwise compromised devices in pretty much every country.

- strcat 8mo agoYou're confusing Motorola Mobility with Motorola Solutions. These haven't been part of the same company since 2011. We would happily support devices from Motorola Solutions with their collaboration too but have no contact or partnership with them as they're an entirely different company. We want to support more devices meeting our requirements and if people have issues with one of the choices due to their opinions on geopolitics they can use another.
- LollipopYakuza 8mo agoThis is a fallacious argument that has been thoroughly debunked countless times, and frankly it has no place on a platform where we expect a baseline level of digital literacy. Privacy isn't about hiding crimes, it's about limiting how much power one government has over you. History has shown stuff that’s totally fine today can be treated like a problem tomorrow. A surveillance system built under a “good” government can be handed to a shady one.

- raffael_de 8mo agoall technology companies are to some extent in cahoots with secret agencies. but israel has no room for mistakes, they only work with the best. no doubt they will ask for backdoors. but no phone is safe from governments anyway - grapheneos or not.
