Yes, but the US is a huge, profitable market. And companies will bend over backwards to appease Nazis so long as it’s more profitable to do so than not.
Within the US we have issues with all the US History books being written to comply with Texas’s “slavery was actually good for black people” bullshit because Texas is such a big market and everybody wants in on it.
How does the government ban an os? Can’t is a strong word, but I don’t see that happening. It’s a Canadian based foundation, not a Chinese or Russian company where they could argue national security in the same way they did with Huawei or TikTok.
It’s more likely a federal os-level age verification law gets passed and grapheneOS compromises or backs out out of the US market.
GrapheneOS is not a company doing business. If they’re banned, that just means Motorola can’t sell pre-installed phones, but that doesn’t change anything about the phone compatibility with GOS. You’ll have to install it yourself, just like today.
That only bans the use of anthropic for government use. So no government entities or contractors could use it. We already do this for some other companies. BOD 17-01
Edit. Granted what they are doing for anthropic is slightly different since it is an executive order not a BOD.
do you really think someone gonna actually care if an operating system has age verification beyond the mainstream ones…and so what, they gonna set up another mirror. big deal.
They have partnered with motorola too right? Basedbasedbasedbased
If the US government bans Graphene, Motorola will drop them in 1/1000th of a heartbeat.
Fuck the usa
The rest of the planet may have something to say on that front. There IS more to the world than naziland.

And why? They cant compete in usa anyway if they use android
Do you think Motorola would lock their bootloader or only stop selling the a phone pre-installed with graphene?
While that may be true, i do not respect corporations or governments and i will do my thing anyways

They’re trying to argue national security for Anthropic, a US based company.
