GrapheneOS is obtained from https://grapheneos.org/install/web and https://grapheneos.org/releases. There are a bunch of legitimate companies in Europe selling devices with real GrapheneOS including NitroKey. We aren't partnered with those companies and don't get funding from it but there's nothing shady about it.
Products using operating systems partially based on our code are not GrapheneOS. There's no such thing as a fake Snapchat app wiping the device in GrapheneOS. It has no remote management or remote wiping built into it. It does not have a subscription fee / licensing system built into it either.
The claims the article platforms are conflating closed source products from European companies infringing on our copyright and trademarks with GrapheneOS. GrapheneOS doesn't have the features they claim it does, isn't distributed in the ways they claim and they don't understand open source software.

Here's another French journalist participating in fearmongering about GrapheneOS. That article is not measured. It provided a platform to make both unsubstantiated and provably false claims about GrapheneOS while providing no opportunity to see and respond to those claims.

We were contacted by a journalist at Le Parisien newspaper with this prompt:
I am preparing an article on the use of your secure personal data phone solution by drug traffickers and other criminals. Have you ever been contacted by the police?

Federating with open registration Matrix servers leads to endless raids including people spamming CSAM and gore. Not federating makes it quite useless. A large portion of our Matrix community moved to Discord due to the CSAM spam across Matrix and we don't bridge media from it.
Discord has very good configurable server-side filtering and dramatically better mod tools. Matrix heavily enables abuse through federation and doesn't even support restricting inline media. Matrix also lacks channels within rooms so communities like ours rely on moderation bots.
See https://grapheneos.org/contact#community-chat for more info. Our rooms are bridged across Matrix, Discord, Telegram and IRC. We started on IRC and intended to fully migrate to Matrix. We added Telegram due to the major issues with Matrix and then Discord which is now the most active platform.

Our Matrix chat rooms have been repeatedly broken by these protocol bugs. Our General and Offtopic rooms have been replaced 4-5 times. The most recent occurrence was our GrapheneOS Space with over 25000 users breaking. This will all hopefully be in the past after today's fixes.

Our plan is to create an entirely new set of Matrix rooms with room version 12 and begin migrating people over to those. Our existing rooms will be kept around for a while because we know many instances are going to take their time updating to the new server software releases.
