Unsubstantiated claims about Sweden exploiting GrapheneOS with no evidence - GrapheneOS Discussion Forum

GrapheneOS discussion forum

An account pretending to be just asking questions goes on to pretend to be an expert citing non-existent sources. This same thing is currently ongoing across several Swedish forums and on social media. It's generally not in English which makes it inaccessible to the broader GrapheneOS and privacy community so they can get away with extraordinary, unsubstantiated claims much more easily.

It does provide alternatives to being coerced into granting invasive permissions by apps via our Storage Scopes, Contact Scopes and other permissions, but it's a user choice. GrapheneOS similarly not supposed to prevent authorized access to data by someone with the PIN/password and access to the device.

Products making that claim are scams. Not being immune to exploitation doesn't mean it can be successfully exploited in a given real world scenario. It's significantly harder to develop and deploy an exploit successfully. It can be exploited, but it doesn't mean it is happening especially at scale or consistently.
