What always freaks me out is people considering their government worse than the likes of Meta, Palantir, Google, Microsoft… At least you can vote (hopefully) for a different government. The problem is when the companies are able to buy governments, like USA is.

But attestation is already “a thing”!! These companies are just asking for a more democratic system. Might not be the best idea ever, but it’s at least better than Google’s monopoly.

I started reading the full argument, and correct me if I am wrong, but don’t they always start with a defendable idea and end up simply sounding crazy as hell when they start talking unrelated shit about other projects?

Like, look at this: https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/116200362765756182

They are literally saying that their plan is to ban GrapheneOS. That’s CRAZY, and obviously not true. It’s basically paranoid. Which I guess fits 😅

IMO, this is overkill. Touch grass, live life. Movies can come later.

I get your point but E2E is independent from public key validation. Public key validation is basically being a bit more slightly sure that the E2E communication happens with who you think, although… It’s never a guarantee. Keys can be stolen.
