• I am not sure moving infrastructures from France to Germany-owned company is an improvement, especially in the current climate.

  • government-sponsored forks, which are fake copies of their operating system

    Errm what ?

    A fork is a fork, it's not a fake unless I guess it claims to be the "real" version.

    I've not heard of these forks of grapheneOS - what's the details ?

    As...noted in the article:

    One prominent example is ANOM, an FBI-backed shell company that developed a compromised Android operating system and messaging platform as part of Operation Trojan Horse from 2018 and 2021.

    According to Daniel Micay, ANOM fraudulently advertised their phones with GrapheneOS, but it's hard to say whether that is really true.

    Thanks. I don't read articles posted here, only Reddit comments /s

  • Historically, at least from my perspective,France has a strange interpretation of “liberté”.

    Do not try to spread disinformation, please.

    Oh really? Because when I think of “freedom,” I don’t immediately picture twenty years of: warrantless house searches, aggressive policing that appears to have been inspired by a particularly stern parent-teacher conference, crackdowns on religious expression, laws against “offending public officials; and yes, that was genuinely a thing, along with periodic attempts to muzzle the press.

    It’s a curious definition of liberty, isn’t it? Almost… avant-garde.

    You're literally parroting disinformation, instead of trying to be factual, and you're writing with a smug...

    What do you expect?

    Alright, this is last my reply, because at this point we’re circling the drain of absurdity.

    What I said isn’t ‘misinformation’; it’s French law, French policy, and French human-rights reports. I’m not inventing this in a shed somewhere. Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, the UN… they’ve all written it down in actual sentences.

    If presenting documented facts feels like ‘disinformation’ to you, then I fear the disagreement isn’t about France, it’s about the definition of information.

    Anyway, I’ll leave it there before we both get trapped in a perpetual motion machine of pedantry.

    All the best.

    PS: here’s an example of one of those laws. It passed by the way. dystopian surveillance law

  • I'm a french national and understand the decision to leave. But why leave to a neighboring country with similar viewpoints and privacy concerns?

  • Just move to Switzerland 🇨🇭
