    The amount of roadblocks Google is putting up for GrapheneOS is just ridiculous. None of their decisions make any sense, from the delayed source patches upstream, to the embargos, attestation issues, etc. Google simply regrets android being open source.

      GrapheneOS does not even register on Google scale! It does not even manufacture its own devices!

      Bigger problem is HarmonyOS and similar devices, compatible with Android. Opensource threat from china!

      And no NSA backdoors or honeypots!

        If the hardware security is on par with iPhone / pixel 8+, then sure.

        Otherwise there's no need for NSA backdoors (as Cellebrite matrix shows) :)
