    If the US government bans Graphene, Motorola will drop them in 1/1000th of a heartbeat.

      Do you think Motorola would lock their bootloader or only stop selling the a phone pre-installed with graphene?

      The rest of the planet may have something to say on that front. There IS more to the world than naziland.

        Yes, but the US is a huge, profitable market. And companies will bend over backwards to appease Nazis so long as it’s more profitable to do so than not.

        Within the US we have issues with all the US History books being written to comply with Texas’s “slavery was actually good for black people” bullshit because Texas is such a big market and everybody wants in on it.

      How does the government ban an os? Can’t is a strong word, but I don’t see that happening. It’s a Canadian based foundation, not a Chinese or Russian company where they could argue national security in the same way they did with Huawei or TikTok.

      It’s more likely a federal os-level age verification law gets passed and grapheneOS compromises or backs out out of the US market.
