      I had completely forgotten Lenovo bought Motorola from Google some 10 years ago. Honestly haven’t seen a Motorola phone in at least that long …

        Been using motorola for a long time. I bought Moto Z in 2016 and it booted with “Motorola company” text in the end of the boot video. After Lenovo acquisition, phone updated and video now said “Motorola, a Lenovo company”.

        Thankfully, Motorola haven’t entshittified over these years. Still a solid phone. Almost no bloat.

        Exactly how is it fear mongering to point out that Google has been taking steps towards preventing the GrapheneOS devs from accessing the Android source code?

        If anyone is planning on purchasing the new Motorola phone with the intention of using it with GrapheneOS they should be aware of what Google is trying to do and the risks associated.

          Misinformation dude imagine having a shred of nuance. Seems like you read one clickbait headline and ran with it.

    How I imagine the decision:

    Should we maybe port it to Fairphone? The phone most of our users probably like?

    Nah let’s do Motorola instead - you know the company were you have to spin a dice to determine if your device can unlock the bootloader or not…
