GrapheneOS will remain usable by anyone around the world without requiring personal information, identification or an account. GrapheneOS and our services will remain available internationally. If GrapheneOS devices can't be sold in a region due to their regulations, so be it.

This is a crucial stance for privacy-focused OS development. Requiring ID creates a single point of failure and potential surveillance vector. GrapheneOS's commitment to anonymous access aligns with the core principle that privacy should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their ability or willingness to provide identification. This is especially important for journalists, activists, and people in oppressive regimes.
