    If 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.

      You'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.

    This 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.

all 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.
