I'd like Heraclius's (7th c. Byzantine emperor?) post to get addressed. The other thread where he asked it got locked down since there was concern it might get political.
So staying political free, please address this concern. Is grapheneos able to guard against it:
With open source projects like Graphene, the Feds don't need to pressure Graphene, they can simply fork it into their own honeypot like the FBI and AFP did with ArcaneOS. Governments rely on the security of projects like GrapheneOS and Signal for their own operations, so why would they want them to be compromised? It's probably in their own interests to finance forks with backdoors for their targets and use the real thing in their own projects.
Thank you.
