Understandable wishes, but you might have to put something from yourself into it if this is a pressing concern. Or you will be left to your own corporate device

What exactly are you suggesting? If i go help out at the graphene os project, that won’t change their leadership. Should I make my own fork?

  The GOS (GrapheneOS) lead had responded to criticisms like yours that he gladly retreats inside his tech role if others would take it upon them to refute the claims from rivals. So if you are that balanced, normal person, you could take that work out of his hands. Or help fund a full time PR person. «In 2018, matters between Micay and Donaldson came to a head over Donaldson’s desire to pursue business deals with criminal organizations, and his attempts to compromise the security of CopperheadOS, including by proposing license enforcement and remote updating systems that would allow third-parties to have access to users’ phones. As part of this process, Donaldson began to demand that Micay provide Donaldson with the “signing keys” - i.e. the credentials required to verify the authenticity of releases of CopperheadOS. Donaldson advised that, in order to secure certain new business, potential customers required access to the Keys.» Micay is rightfully paranoia, just having a GOS phone makes some government agencies quite mad. There are many ways a project like GOS could die, disinformation could certainly kill it. Other projects don't help the case if they throw mud at it. Rather, they should focus on their real technical shortcomings, but such articles aren't written somehow. https://eylenburg.github.io/android_comparison.htm https://eylenburg.github.io/android_comparison.htm EDIT > Should I make my own fork? You could contact him to offer your help where he falls short.

    Ah yes, i’ll definitely be volunteering my time to help with something i have no experience or qualifications about. Great idea.

  The leadership is great. Persistent, patient and friendly. They were able to improve. I don't think many of the often negative and ad-hominem critics would be able to endure such a pressure as they had in the past.
