GrapheneOS defends itself after an American gave their “duress” passcode to border patrol, wiping all data from his phone “GrapheneOS is completely legal,” later adding “laws attempting to make it illegal or require weakening the security would be unconstitutional”

Love to see that core @GrapheneOS speakers have fun at our events! Thanks, @dod_berlin for hosting a Workshop around de-Google OS at Neo-cypherpunk Summit in Berlin (june 2026).

i recommend anyone who travels to use grapheneos and set up a duress pin & pw (and rotate both before every trip). the chances of being forced to unlock your phone, whether at a border crossing or somewhere on the street, are only going up in this insane world. it's _your_ fucking phone, your data, and your private life. nobody except you has any right to access its contents. period.

Volkswagen has blocked its app from working on phones using GrapheneOS, a custom Android version built for stronger privacy and security. Users can no longer log in or control their cars via the app, yet it still runs fine on some old Android phones that no longer receive security updates. Volkswagen says the app relies on official Android features that custom versions lack, highlighting the challenges car companies face with different phone systems. Via:@IntCyberDigest

New: the DHS officials who tried to search the man who wiped his GrapheneOS phone lied. They pushed him about having child abuse images. Documents reveal that was a pretext; he wasn't suspected of this at all. He's a Stop Cop City activist

Hi today I write about the lack of MTE (key security feature that GrapheneOS need) on Pixel 11, the drawbacks of MTE, what Google planned for MTE, and also the upcoming Motorola GrapheneOS phone, so go read so that my sources won't go in vain

A U.S. traveler has been charged after his GrapheneOS phone wiped itself during a search at Atlanta airport. Prosecutors say he used GrapheneOS’s built-in duress password, which erases the phone instead of unlocking it. They claim that amounts to destroying evidence. His lawyers are challenging the charges, saying the search was unconstitutional.
