- The GrapheneOS Foundation has no obligation to weaken GrapheneOS features designed to improve user and data security.
- The operating system that got Sam Tunick prosecuted by the US government has nothing to do with unlawful practices.
- The software and compatible hardware (Google Pixel phones) is designed specifically to prevent attempts to bypass or tamper with data encryption.
- Once data has been wiped from a GrapheneOS-powered phone, there is no way to recover any of it.
