@GrapheneOS Although i congratulate you and Motorola/Lenovo for the initiative, i'm a bit concerned about what will happen to GOS because let's be honest: Motorola is a company, not a charity. What's their ROI on that? Just reputation? Also considering that they announced data analytics and their own "security" tools in one breath. Will it only count for business phones or will the phones be shipped with preinstalled software in the future? I hope GOS will also run independently of Lenovo tools.

@tuxicoman @GrapheneOS

Well, let's see how that turns out. I'd be a potential buyer for sure. I'd welcome the security but if it becomes a similar data sink like Google, just with a different endpoint, then nothing's gained.
It then just would be the same sh*t, different flies.
Let's wait until the first joint release comes out. I'm very hopeful and cautiously enthusiastic. GOS also has a reputation to uphold and i'm hopeful that they wouldn't just sell their soul because of corporate money.

@Brokar @tuxicoman It's going to be the same GrapheneOS supporting additional devices with official support and collaboration from the OEM. They're going to benefit through selling many more devices and we get more high quality devices meeting our security requirements which we can properly support. It should also be a lot easier for us to support than Pixels because they're going to be helping us a lot. Most of the work still needs to be done, but it's a serious partnership already.
