Look at the amount that Signal spends.

Session is decentralized.

I’m from Germany and don’t have WhatsApp :D But I totally understand what you mean, it’s terrible.

We might want to encourage people to stop using the term “sideloading” and instead say “installing” because that’s what it is; using a different term for it makes it seem unordinary and unintended.

Well, people support it. In the end people are supporting their own doom.

The double moral of people like you is amazing. /s

Edit: You all think you’re the Robin Hoods? Steal from the “rich” and take it for urself, and then complain when the “rich” doesn’t respect ur rights ✨

If you would have read the article, you would know that they go after everyone involved. There is nothing wrong about going after the users, if you use an illegal service to do illegal things, you’re just as guilty as the provider.

I’ve read almost every drama-related post from the official GrapheneOS account since I researched this whole thing.

And they almost NEVER provide sources. The only exceptions I can think of right now were the cases with Rob Braxman and the French newsletter. That’s the only time they actually provided a source.

r/privacy is generally terrible from my experience.

I love it how they don’t provide any proof at all /s, just: “Trust us bro”

It infringes the app owner/developers rights, including copyright. They’ve resold paid apps from the Google Play Store which is highly illegal in many countries.

You have the right to file a complaint to a applicable data protection authority.

uBlock Origin and uBlock Origin Lite (both browser extensions) have a similar feature :)

Just because something happens in a GDPR region, doesn’t mean it is legal. I see GDPR violations everyday.

A trustworthy VPN provider is your best solution here. Mullvad, IVPN, and ProtonVPN are common recommendations in the community. I would personally recommend against Windscribe; it is privacy-friendly but has had major bugs repeatedly in the past. If you want to go experimental, check out NymVPN and Obscura (Apple platforms only).
