I believe this is the OS recommended to journalists that report on Palestine because freedom of speech doesn't apply without aggressive assertion of your rights.

Into jail with those officials. Clear violation of their constitution

It is France. The state is them.

Edit: I wonder why this is downvoted. The bureaucratic class holds enormous power in France, and has constantly acted against digital rights and privacy with impunity. The only institution that can somewhat restrain them is ECHR.

Some advocacy groups are denouncing the collusion and lobbying taking place between industrials, governments, and the media.

Is it safe to assume, then, that Google and Apple already have backdoors in their operating systems as likely requested by many governments around the world (not least of which the one from their home country)?

Or is GrapheneOS the only one built securely enough to need to be leaned upon?

Either way, makes Google and Apple look bad and/or incompetent and GrapheneOS look like some kind of beacon of user protection / privacy rights / other things that are the opposite of the direction the world seems to be moving.

Or that GrapheneOS is small enough to bully.
