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.

You know the two aren’t really the same, right?

That’s the point: I don’t even know the name of the Chinese agency I would even theoretically need to worry about.
