Dear tech media, could we please stop using GrapheneOS as the judge on what's secure? I respect very much what GrapheneOS has built, but their stance that free software is not important to security is very short sighted. They literally are willing to call binary blobs secure because someone told them they are? They have no other standard to go on, since they can't inspect them.

@eighthave what do you suggest as an alternative so something that is both secure and fsf-approved? @rms likely would recommend not ever using a phone.
@eighthave @rms that seems reasonable albeit a lofty goal with a lot of r&d. the correspondence ive had prior im still not sure rms would ever use a cell phone of his own. maybe he will chime in this thread. last time we talked we were discussing alternative systems focused mainly around pocsag pager which ive ran for years now.
