<p class="card-text line-clamp-3">Authoritarians around the world have been heavily pushing the false narrative that end-to-end encryption and secure devices primarily benefit criminals. GrapheneOS has been a growing target of these attacks on open source privacy technology.

France is the epicenter of this with their national law enforcement engaging in a smear campaign towards GrapheneOS with false claims about our features, distribution and marketing conflating it with non-GrapheneOS devices. Murena has actively participated.</p>
