I'm neutral on it. I wouldn't say his anecdote is made up. Most people are using GrapheneOS just for simple reasons like more security.

I do know people in NGOs relying on GrapheneOS for their operations because they've told us though. Edward Snowden (who I would say is both *less* and *more* targeted than people think) also admits he uses it every day.

I wouldn't be shocked if employees of major cyber operations agencies is using GrapheneOS on their personal devices too. We aren't exactly unknown.
