Doesn’t care if its devices can’t be sold in regions that require ID verification.

    “If GrapheneOS devices can’t be sold in a region due to their regulations, so be it.”

    Wonder if Motorola feels the same way.

          I believe the US and Brazil are the only countries in the world forcing age verification. They chose to pull their infrastructure out of France bit there is no ban on the sale of devices with it installed.

            It’d be pretty naive to assume that other countries wont follow.

              I doubt Lenovo (Motorola) would commit to selling mobiles with gOS preinstalled if they really thought there was a threat to their sales.

      Imagine if California then declared a ban on the sale of GrapheneOS compatible phones.

      would be fun to see.

      Motorola phones will have both Graphene and Android.

        Google Pixels can be flashed with Graphene OS which is just a debloated, private, secure, opensource OS.

          I don’t think a Google pixel is considered a grapheneOS device

            When you put grapheneOS on it it is, and until Motorola releases their phones designed for it it’s the primary option.
