I don’t know why this obvious disinformation has a 95% upvote ratio, but it’s a specific fork made by a guy who presumably sells (mainly) to criminals and the police having found a backdoor into that fork. Has nothing to do with any smear campaign against the entire OS.
My thoughts exactly. There’s no real article behind that ad.nl link. Then there’s this loosely related link to the GOS mastodon post. And then there’s the broad claim in the title, which, unless OP can provide proper evidence, is entirely made-up bullshit. I use downvotes very sparingly here on Lemmy, but this disinformation piece deserves all the red it gets.
It sure did look like that from the layout, but I thought it wise to hold back judgement on the source, given that I only had Firefox’ auto-translation, which can be very rough.
Let me just put it this way: the guys in the GrapheneOS thread over on tweakers.nl spent exactly four three comments on it, including one laughing at how bad AD is, after which they proceeded to resume their discussion about their preferred banking app.
Yes, but it should be noted that the disinformation campaign is originating from the government and confusing users to believe all GrapheneOS is bad and being targeted. Agree that the title of the post is misleading, but it’s probably at least in part due to the governmental misinformation.
They’re implying that all GrapheneOS is bad and then saying they’re raiding some people with GrapheneOS phones. How many people understand what GrapheneOS is much less what a fork of it is and how to differentiate the two. It’s designed to be confusing as is most propaganda.

Ad.nl is also a shit source anyway. Tabloid fearmongering.

Where is the government saying that in regard to the raids on these specific pixel phonea?

But that is my question: are they really implying that? And if you say so, where can I read that. I’m not making a comment saying
And then proceed to not check my facts LOL, so I’m really going to need a source on that claim.
Thank you
