    Being that Motorola Mobility is owned by Lenovo who had the Superfish adware scandal back in 2015, I’m not shocked. Lenovo has proven willing to tamper with their customers’ web traffic on multiple occasions now. Avoid Lenovo/Motorola Mobility.

      Ironic that the only phone that will support Graphene OS will be a Motorola.

      You know, if that materializes, and if it’s available outside of business customers.

    This is creepy.

    My social conspiracy mind makes me think it was an inside smear job and someone got paid to do it because of Motorola’s deal with GrapheneOS.

    The enemy of my enemy is not necessarily my friend, but I’m happy to see this.
