That's great. But sounds like the only phone they going to get is Motorola. And if us gov going to pressure motorola into compliance? Then what?
It's a nonprofit organisation. They don't really need to be the default OS in any device, people can install it themselves, which is how most people get GrapheneOS already anyway.
I JUST put together that the moto partnership means "buying a phone loaded with gOS" not "moto is working with gOS to ensure it runs smoothly on their hardware". I was excited before but that is awesome
It could be either, I thought they meant the latter but we don't know yet.
It's not a federal law right now. It's CA afaik. So Motorola could sell non-grapheneos phones there (and people could just install later).
It's like 7 different states at varying stages of "passed" and Meta's lobby is working on more for sure, wouldn't be surprised if they were also work on a federal version too.
Probably are. I think it still think a federal age verification bill has low likelihood of passing, but I'd say that's more plausible than an outright ban on GrapheneOS
