I hope you are right. But what can GrapheneOS do if Google decide to lock their phones for whatever reason (and this seems a nice opportunity to justify it)? No alarmism, but given the way things are moving in Europe, it doesn't seem wrong to monitor the situation.

I would be really happy if the problem did not exist, but we are talking about laws and their *interpretation* here. This is not just an act of force by the EU. If phone manufacturers like the idea of blocking their phones (see IOS and Samsung), they will be happy to use (and abuse) any law through interpretation to comply. GrapheneOS unfortunately cannot say anything about this yet; it can only wait for Google's next move.

It's exactly alarmism what I'm seeing here. Spreading misinformation doesn't help, imo. 🫂

First, the law explicitly states that compliance with the law should not be used as an excuse to block loading of third party software. Second, GrapheneOS team has been working on a first party manufacturer device running GrapheneOS which would not be affected by this law.
