A distro with shady revenue sources (check for yourself) with shady hardware restrictions that only permits to use spyware phones from google, or recently, after years of complaints now permits you to use hardware from an NSA long time contractor. No, claiming that some magic hardware makes you more secure is not a valid reason when you are using hardware where they have every reason to track you even further. Saying "nothing was found so far" is no excuse, NSA takes pride that their bugged devices run that way for decades until finally admitting.

Now claims to solve a VPN leak when not long ago this same group were exposed promoting a governamental VPN and honeypot, a.k.a. Tor.

Just don't expose yourself to bait distros that forces you into spyware. It is already difficult enough to preserve some sense of privacy on modern tech. Consider other distros which are also popular and without this hardware non-sense (not even complaining about their shady software choices).

Stay safe.

> A distro with shady revenue sources (check for yourself)

Do me a favor and tell me about our apparent shady revenue sources. We are run entirely by donations, there are large donors too.

> with shady hardware restrictions that only permits to use spyware phones from google

We cover this topic literally everywhere on a daily basis, with a thorough list of requirements found on our website.

> after years of complaints now permits you to use hardware from an NSA long time contractor.

Motorola Solutions and Motorola Mobility are entirely different companies. We've partnered with the latter.

> No, claiming that some magic hardware makes you more secure is not a valid reason

To bring you a rather extreme but also straightforward example, leaked documents from forensic software show we're holding up incredibly well.

> when you are using hardware where they have every reason to track you even further. Saying "nothing was found so far" is no excuse

Okay, so nothing we say will encourage you to change your thinking then.

What?

> Just don't expose yourself to bait distros that forces you into spyware.

Strong claims like yours should ideally be backed up with equally strong sources and evidence, otherwise you quickly run out of steam.

> (not even complaining about their shady software choices).

Which are?

> NSA long time contractor

Motorola Mobility LLC, a US-headquartered, entirely Chinese owned subsidiary of the Chinese computer manufacturer Lenovo, is an NSA contractor?

That’s news.

You make a lot of claim yet gives no source or material to back up your claim.

Beside, what would be a great distribution beyond grapheneos. iOS isn't, stock Android is much worst, calyxos ? Lineageos ? They are much worst on the security.

Seems like volunteers and donations? Is there something else I can read to be more informed on this?

Is the CalyxOS Vs GrapheneOS shitflinging about to start up again?

> a governamental VPN and honeypot, a.k.a. Tor.

Why is tor a honeypot?
