GrapheneOS based on Android 14 is now available in the Alpha channel. In theory, this release could reach the Beta channel and then Stable. However, we expect more minor regressions will be reported and we'll make another release replacing it before Beta.

Meta turned over their DMs, used as evidence to convict them on felony charges for accessing criminalized healthcare. Meta had the data so had to hand it over.

See https://bsky.app/profile/grapheneos.org/post/3jynyvzahk62u for our previous post about launching support for the Pixel Tablet. We had it supported within around 12 hours of the official launch.
Initial GrapheneOS support for the Pixel Tablet is now available. It can be installed via our web installer (https://grapheneos.org/install/web) or the official CLI install procedure. The basics are confirmed to work properly already and we're currently working on our first update for it.

"1984 was not supposed to be an user manual" 🤦‍♂️

(in short, the French senate just approved a bill that will allow to monitor the activities of "suspected individuals" through their smartphone's microphone, GPS and camera, without the individuals being informed of the surveillance)

An app that had more than 50,000 downloads from Google Play surreptitiously recorded nearby audio every 15 minutes and sent it to the app developer.

Let's be clear: $1.8b for "AI" = ~$1.8b handed to Big Tech companies to license infra, data, & APIs.

This is a subsidy to surveillance cos, justified via rewarmed cold war imaginaries.

Our new Contact Scopes feature is now available in the Alpha channel. It provides a way to avoid granting the Contacts permission for apps requiring it. It's similar to our Storage Scopes feature replacing needing any of the media/storage permissions.
