Did you know, GrapheneOS will have an opt-in built-in network location feature in the near future.

We have an experimental implementation which we're testing already. It will not be enabled by default for privacy reasons.

It will have support for choosing between multiple services.

Meta illegaly downloaded 80+ terabytes of books from LibGen, Anna's Archive, and Z-library to train their AI models.

In 2010, Aaron Swartz downloaded only 70 GBs of articles from JSTOR (0.0875% of Meta). Faced $1 million in fine and 35 years in jail. Took his own life in 2013.
