Replying to Avatar final [GrapheneOS] 📱👁️‍🗨️

Always has been. It's just it never goes well so far because the OEMs always want gimmicks, implement security features improperly or don't want to at all to cut the cost. Having less security than the baseline in our documentation is unacceptable to us.

If we supported devices that are less or improperly secured then it ends up with us being the blamed party for these devices rather than the OEM who slacked off. People would then say it's the fault of GrapheneOS as a whole when the secure devices don't get affected by such problems.

Supporting existing devices is also on the cards but OEMs don't play fair, like Samsung crippling security features and even cameras permanently. I am personally not the type to have the law step in on things like this, but I totally think there should be some litigation about this.

💯 that's more than BS on Samsung's part. There should absolutely be litigation. It's definitely not acceptable to sacrifice security just for the sake of not using Pixels until the right OEM comes along. Good on GOS for refusing to do so. Thanks for the reply :)
