None of these options are "open". You just have to decide what you really want from a communications device.
A Pixel with GrapheneOS is pretty much as open as it gets. Any iPhone or Samsung is a downgrade from that.

Petitions to big corporations are a waste of time. You're just keeping change.org alive. Good luck regardless.

Imo, Graphene wants to be a "Google certified" ROM OEM, they don't make devices but software. A good and secure ROM for sure but they're still begging them for Play Integrity[1] and "sandboxing" GMS isn't fighting Google.

"Taking legal steps" isn't "begging" though.

That's designed for nerds. Like Matrix and the other platforms that will never see mainstream adoption because they lack product management and crazy distribution.
Normie design and hyper distribution always win.
Good to know. Didn't know I was following this many nerds over there.
> Kennedy, who previously founded an anti-vaccine group, has long questioned the proven benefits of vaccines and spread unfounded concerns about their safety.
And then they end the text with a quote from a PR expert founder of a pro-vaccine NGO:
> Fatima is an experienced advocate, strategist, and crisis management expert with a background spanning political campaigns, civil rights advocacy, and corporate communications. She has worked with leading PR agencies such as Hill & Knowlton and Porter Novelli, as well as independently advising high-profile clients on crisis management, media relations, and public affairs.
I see 0 expertise in medicine, clinical trials or other scientific work. That reduces these statements to agenda driven PR:
> “Our healthcare system is now solidly anti-children and anti-science,” Fatima Khan, co-founder of the Protect Their Future group, which advocates for vaccine access.
> “The data are clear: young children – especially infants – remain highly vulnerable to severe illness and hospitalization from Covid-19. By restricting access to safe, evidence-based vaccines, federal leaders are choosing ideology over science.”

I mean, yeah, sure, you can run this. I wouldn't trust my personal data to such an old OS if it ever got connected to the internet and the system will slowly disintegrate while you're using it so I'd rather adapt to something like Omarchy on a modern Linux system instead but if this is bringing joy to some people, more power to them.
Deepseek R1 is on there. Average "IQ" score of 88.
Missed that!
Main point missing from the title - said government official was then released for unspecified reasons and is now in Israel.
There's a system to it with sex offenders escaping justice in Israel:
