I would like to point out that this video (the one by TheHatedOne) provides no sources and presents events that are yet to be proven as the one and only "truth."

Disclaimer: I'm a GrapheneOS user, but I reject the idea of spreading information and selling it as the truth without providing a single piece of evidence.

Can't watch the video as I don't do YouTube, but what does Aaron Schwartz's death have to do with GrapheneOS which didn't even exist when he died in 2013?

I don't do explanation but the wiki-article is interesting as well.

Did a search for graphene and nothing came up. On mobile though

I know about him. I'm just wondering what the video is saying, why it's relevant now, and why we need to get rid of GrapheneOS rather than it being more important to have a privacy OS than ever.

author should have used another title: video is about attacks that GrapheneOS has been receiving by media, past developers and other state institutions. It's actually a bit informative on that issue, but the ragebait title is very stupid.

No offense but these guys (this entire type of guy) are not super helpful, I'd rather let the Graphene devs comment on stuff than hand it over to some CIA slop guzzling youtubers
