And the US isn't the only place pulling this shit.

I believe the US and Brazil are the only countries in the world forcing age verification. They chose to pull their infrastructure out of France bit there is no ban on the sale of devices with it installed.

It'd be pretty naive to assume that other countries wont follow.

I doubt Lenovo (Motorola) would commit to selling mobiles with gOS preinstalled if they really thought there was a threat to their sales.

Germany has been discussing this for a while now. So are other EU states.

It's always the same. "We need to catch the pedophiles, end e2e" or "the Internet is not a lawless space, give us id".

Well, instead of us sitting here talking about GrapheneOS, an Android based system, why aren't we all talking about pure Linux based phones instead of feeding into the duopoly of Google/Apple?

If we want to avoid giving into age verification we'll still need to be selective about the Linux. But we have a chart.

Brian Lunduke, really? Is he still a MAGA? I don't need that idiot to tell me what I should or should not use.
