The drama and accusations the GrapheneOS developers are spewing and engaging in are giving me a bad taste in the mouth and make me doubt the OS’s reliability am I the only one?

Who benefits?
Who benefits from sowing a narrative around “drama”, “accusation”, and/or “paranoia”. Seriously.
I think given the following circumspect; GrapheneOS’s reaction, to move project pieces out of potential hostile environments/jurisdiction, is perfectly reasonable.
France’s Support for EU “Chat Control”, scanning proposals. France has been one of the governments most supportive of EU‑level proposals that would require scanning of communications and devices for illegal content.
The general French framing and approach to cybercrime. As in other EU countries, French authorities are pushing for: Expanded powers to compel cooperation from service providers, and developers. Strong rhetoric against tools that are seen as systematically obstructing investigations.
The main GrapheneOS dev creates beef with a bunch of other projects. It’s not some shadowy organisation, it’s him having stupid takes in GitHub issues and spreading false claims about other projects.
Man, I am so totally with you, but the problem - and it’s ridiculous to say it’s not a problem - is the guy running GrapheneOS is apparently a socially backward drama whore. Louis Rossman is an amazing advocate, I don’t even pay that much attention to shit and I know him as one of my favorite people on YouTube because of his advocacy for right to repair. And this guy just pisses all over his face for the most minor perceived infraction. I have no problem imagining that something like GrapheneOS would face intense harassment from the state, but when you act like this dude does you completely lose all credibility. Everybody is just left wondering if maybe, just maybe, this is just your weird ass making shit up.
