GrapheneOS says to age verification.

Android-Based GrapheneOS Refuses Age Verification, May Exit Regions That Enforce It

The privacy-focused Android fork would rather lose market access than collect user data at setup.

It's FOSS (itsfoss.com)

@itsfoss now I'll use #GrapheneOS for my device

@itsfoss@mastodon.social

Love the energy
But I feel like they will need more than f-droid for apps
That's my biggest concern here

[seedd@mastodon.social]

@itsfoss these politicians with their names in the esptein files want to pRoTecT cHiLdReN

[rubinjoni@mastodon.social]

@bussphomet @itsfoss Well, they ship with Accrescent, and are very critical about f-droid...

[bussphomet@app.wafrn.net]

@itsfoss@mastodon.social @rubinjoni@mastodon.social

I guess what I meant was
Doing something like the furiphone does and have native linux software capability and android app capability.
Accrescent is still android based.

@itsfoss one of the issue with this is, should a bad group if people like pedophiles, terrorist, scammers.. Use GrapheneOS. Is GrapheneOS ready to accept this?
I use GrapheneOS and getting worried about being completely open. But to what end.

[joe9nf@mastodon.social]

@VinCep73 People use cars to kidnap and do all sorts of bad stuff, do we have issues with cars? GrapheneOS is just a tool like cars.

Mate the actual government are worse than criminals at this point.
I feel like it doesn't matter.
Freedom or death.
And by death I mean theirs.

[mrgr@mastodon.social]

@itsfoss Maybe that's why it's banned in the U.S.

[bussphomet@app.wafrn.net]

@itsfoss@mastodon.social @MrGR@mastodon.social

Pretty sure that's France
There is literally an online shop that ships phones with graphene pre-installed to the U.S.

@itsfoss How does this OS level age verification even works? You just set in OS "Yeah I'm 18+ years old" and you're on your merry way or do you need to somehow actually prove it with ID or shit? If it's just a toggle with no verification just as a tool for parents to use as parental control it's not really problematic, but I'm sure there's already abuse planned with it on corporate/government levels isn't it?

[bussphomet@app.wafrn.net]

@itsfoss@mastodon.social @rejzor@mastodon.social

Thats the thing
Its all fucking stupid, it won't work.
We are either back to the 90s where you have a birthday slider to lie too or they try to push some chinese level bullshit and end up with a Nepal.

But I guess if we are speaking of the american ones and not the brazil one the american ones seem more honor system (its still overreach though). Brazil is inept though its one of the great piracy countries, they will try to enforce it and then give up like they always do. As for the americans that shit will get torn up in court if amendments don't kill them before they are even born.

@VinCep73 I have a friend that discovered GrapheneOS just as an OS that isn't controlled by friends of Trump. My friend doesn't even care about privacy.

GrapheneOS is becoming more popular every day. The association to bad people is slowly fading. Being open about using GrapheneOS makes it happen faster.

[aho@mastodon.social]

@itsfoss if needed, I think the users should verify it's age to the system admin (I know, tend to be the same person).

[sam52@mastodon.social]

@GrapheneOS Kudos.
