2026 DeGoogle Mobile Telemetry Study How much data does a phone secretly send to Google when you are not using it? Our team measured 72 continuous hours of network packets from idle Android phones sitting untouched in our lab. https://www.praveentechworld.com/research/degoogle-telemetry-2026

The European Flag and Open Source shouldn't be shields behind which ideological demagogues and bad faith actors should be able to hide behind. You may not like our pedagogic approach but it comes from having faith in people to discern fact from fiction, and appreciate hearing from people auditing the claims. Those who can audit closed source code do, everyone can audit open source but 99% of people can't & don't. If they are why are we the only voice, what are the motives for staying silent?

RE: @metr0pl3x@grapheneos.social

TLDR: Gael Duval head of Murena and /e/OS partner of Fairphone declared privacy/security maximalists using 'hardened' OS/tools are paedophiles.

We pointed this & it's obvious PR grade targeting of us out.

People focused on the latter over the former because...? Reasons.

Reaction from privacy/security/freedom/civil rights advocates and organisations in response to the smear? Crickets.

@josh@sideofburritos.social so true and the fact they can't offer the choice of either keeping things as is on a profile plus the documentation or altering the profile similar to deleting an offending tweet that causes a suspension is beyond me. Everything I requested and offered was reasonable their actions/process is not.

@josh@sideofburritos.social probably reported to end up on the radar. Beyond that they seemingly blanketed everyone who was on a list. Only those complying would get them back. However as you can see even if I was willing the unattended process means you can end up supplying information just to see what sticks as you can't actually resolve and narrow the scope.

@lincoln@social.tchncs.de Gael Duval claimed privacy and security maximalists who use the best tools are peadophiles. Wonder if others will communicate it to save us doing it or whether they'll play apologist because we emphasised based on the language used they were targeting us? Is there an issue with them taking a platform like that and comminicating this the way they did?

@ElliesSurviving@tech.lgbt @josh@sideofburritos.social thankyou Ellie 😁 and yeah I got the same treatment they gave Naomi Brockwells Privacy Wins account. They turfed that for Impersonation too if I remember rightly.

@SomeGadgetGuy Read more here: https://xcancel.com/GrapheneOS/status/1961137060820951379 Also a post from the Wireguard dev with their concerns is available here: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/issues/3110#note_1613430404 This led to them including a self-update system which was openly implemented and documented. F-Droid was unaware they'd shipped it for half a year, and by then WireGuard had essentially escaped from in their words being held hostage by F-Droid.

@SomeGadgetGuy one is worse because of the popularity and exposure, the other is worse because of lack of security forward approach. I'd rather not enumerate badness and just call out the problems for what they are. That said I know which track would fix the vulnerabilities and issues when they're found though and I think you know too. 😉

@wod0bow@mastodon.social we require devices that permit, allow and fully support alternate OS use of all hardware features on a device. Unfortunately Samsung intentionally do the opposite crippling unlocked devices with the Knox efuse.
