These attacks are taking a multi pronged approach including pushing existing fabricated stories and harassment towards our team. We'd appreciate if our community was more active than usual in debunking misinformation and attacks on our team. It's a very abnormal wave of attacks.

GrapheneOS is currently under a state sponsored attack attempting to misrepresent it as being for criminals, which we covered a bit at bsky.app/profile/grap.... These poorly researched, biased and inaccurate news stories have led to more harassment towards our community and team.
European authoritarians and their enablers in the media are misrepresenting GrapheneOS and even Pixel phones as if they're something for criminals. GrapheneOS is opposed to the mass surveillance police state these people want to impose on everyone.

“The Declaration of Independence was not the end of a story, but the beginning of a fight. Not the achievement of independence, but the declaration of intent to achieve it. Not victory, but the choice to make victory possible.” @brockm.bsky.social
This Fourth of July, we remember that independence isn’t something we achieved once—it’s something we must choose again, every generation.
The Fight Continues
On this Fourth of July, we declare independence again

The Senate barely passed Trump’s 'Big Beautiful Bill' today after an all-night circus. But the chaos isn’t just a fluke. It’s the inevitable result of governing through Trump-style campaign tactics. And the result? A bill that is as rotten as the leader who forced his party to ram it through.

Don't let Trump's Gestapo in your residence AND do not come out. They will lie to your face. Above all, always film any encounter with these vile monsters. And call 911 if they refuse to show you a badge or ID.
