letmetweakit··on GrapheneOS Moving Out of France

"France isn't a safe country for open source privacy projects. They expect backdoors in encryption and for device access too. Secure devices and services are not going to be allowed. We don't feel safe using OVH for even a static website with servers in Canada/US via their Canada/US subsidiaries."

Would surprise me if they weren't moving out of France entirely.

Can you elaborate?

letmetweakit··on M5 MacBook Pro
