Gregory's Server@elricofmelnibone GrapheneOS is also under attack from groups trying to harm it including shady organizations pretending to have private and secure mobile devices who feel threatened by a far better option being available for free. There are a couple YouTubers who joined in us this to promote themselves and essentially directed their large communities to harm us across platforms spreading fabricated stories and misinformation about GrapheneOS. It would be best if our community countered this.

 @elricofmelnibone There are people actively trying to harm GrapheneOS through getting very low quality news sites to repeat the attacks and then trying to reference that from Wikipedia, etc. Almost all of this involves people posting dishonest attacks referencing other people doing the same in cycles. This is really the main area we need help so we can focus on development and much less on defending ourselves. It's harder for people to help us with the spurious legal system attacks, etc. @GrapheneOS @elricofmelnibone I'm doing the best I can using my account @Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com on Lemmy, the federated Reddit alternative, to refute any false claims about GrapheneOS and Android security in general Unfortunately there is a lot of misinformation from people who do not understand the topic at all I haven't seen that much harassment on Lemmy, just people who aren't well informed, and don't realize it |
@elricofmelnibone We refute it when we see it, but it would be far better if we had a community which was far more active at defending the project against these attacks. It would avoid us needing to spend nearly as much time on it as we do and would also help to protect us from getting attacked for debunking misinformation. A lot of the attacks are based on making false claims and then claiming our team in insane, delusional, etc. after posting detailed replies debunking low effort lies.
