GrapheneOS is a project with really good intentions, and we should definitely give them credit.

But here’s the thing: criminals end up exploiting tech like this, and that makes the project an easy target for law enforcement. We’ve seen the exact same thing happen with crypto.

We need to just accept that any technology designed for security and privacy is always going to be a double-edged sword.

The problem is not that security solutions are a double edged sword, it's that such solutions stop mass surveillance.

When Ross Ulbricht was arrested, they made sure to do it in a way that they got access to his laptop while logged in. I'm sure competent investigators can figure out the login method used daily by someone on their phone if they follow them because they are committing a crime. Just like they did with Ulbricht. But they can't do that for everyone whenever they feel like it, and that's the problem.

I agree, therefore it should be my legal right to use such technology. Like a 2A for encryption and privacy
