    oh, so it’s one of those videos that tell us, that the underlying project is not bad at all, but like 98% of all installations are riddled with invasive or outright privacy hostile software because it get’s GOOGLED before shipping unless i install a rom that’s not compatible with most devices and that i have to throw money at google to buy a pixel to escape the botnet i just paid for to check in?

      Maybe, dunno, just watch the video?

      The comparison is between Android and iOS, not Android and some fictional perfectly-private-and-secure-by-default OS. Even if you don’t want to put GrapheneOS on your phone, on Android you can very easily take steps that take you further than would be possible on iOS.

        i’ve read the transcript and it’s a superficial, biased video about how grapheneos is better than ios because … well, because they say so, leaving out all the inconvenient stuff.

          So you’re not just of the opinion that Android isn’t more private and secure than iOS, but GrapheneOS isn’t as well?

          In this case I don’t think taking this any further makes much sense. It isn’t my data and security at risk. I just sincerely hope that you don’t have too severe of a threat model.
