Motorola's 2027 flagships will officially support GrapheneOS

Interestingly, Motorola itself is doing “a large portion of the work of porting GrapheneOS to their devices”.

…and Motorola is owned by Lenovo, which is effectively controlled by the Chinese state.

I love GrapheneOS but jumping into bed with the CCP is bad, bad idea.

Edit: I’m not a fan of US tech either, and this isn’t an “I hate China” post. They are both awful countries.

I’ll take my chances with the CCP over ICE any fucking day of the year.

We are always under more threat from our own governments than a foreign one and I do not live in China or China-aligned country. I’m safer with my data in Beijing than in Redmond.

And that’s the worst case scenario. Likely, it’s enough of a win for China to have an OS that the US doesn’t have backdoors into without China needing their own.

Your data is going to the US government and data brokers, even if you don’t know it.

Source that China is using its backdoors to share information with the US? I mean, it very well might be, at least it’s an extra step. I’m saying I’d rather not share my information with anyone, but if i had to choose, it would be a foreign government ahead of my own.

I’m not sure where I’m going wrong, there.

Not what I meant, the US is grabbing all the information on their own, don’t think they aren’t. Maybe some of you more sophisticated computer heads can avoid it, but I wouldn’t expect it.

They have everything compromised on a basic level, basic levels. China could sell your information back to the US too though in some kind of deal.

But yeah I agree, I’d rather have foreign governments having it than mine own. But it’s near impossible for a layman, or person without substantial resources, to keep their information out of the hands of the NSA and data brokers, I strongly suspect, as Edward Snowden informed us.
