I'm tired of the daily misinformation campaign and intimidation of our contributors by Copperhead.
I'm tired of spending $3000/month on legal fees to deal with their bogus lawsuit and for filing our own lawsuit against them based on their fraudulent copyright claims.

I think it's very apparently to nearly everyone what's happening other than a few people with a financial interest in believing otherwise and a small community of their close friends / supporters. I don't really understand why they attempt to escalate and create new conflicts.

It doesn't go well for them. We have a substantially larger community and we're clearly in the right so a lot more people support us. Every time they try to escalate the conflict, it goes badly for them. Then they throw a fit about having all these people that are against them.

The tweet at twitter.com/jack/status/13 which was apparently based on hearing about GrapheneOS on a Bitcoin-related podcast and then reading about it really got to them. Their CEO made one of his usual desperate attempts at sweet talking someone in reply and ramped up his war.

Since then, they've been incredibly focused on causing harm to us any way they can on a day to day basis. Since we want to be focusing on development, not dealing with this, we've repeatedly asked for help from our community to counter these attacks so we can start ignoring it.

They're now trying to portray our community doing their best to defend us and counter their false claims as us managing thousands of sockpuppet accounts. Nope, that's not what's happening. The more they try to create conflict, the more people will support us and argue with them.

The tweet from was a direct result of Copperhead attacking us and people in our community responding to it by spreading the word about GrapheneOS. In an indirect way, they got us that shout out. It certainly wasn't anything that we did. I was quite surprised about it.

I don't understand why they're so upset about it. It's not the first mention from someone prominent: twitter.com/Snowden/status.
supported my CopperheadOS project and continued supporting the real project under the new name rather than their proprietary fork of my work.

If I were configuring a smartphone today, I'd use @DanielMicay's @GrapheneOS as the base operating system. I'd desolder the microphones and keep the radios (cellular, wifi, and bluetooth) turned off when I didn't need them. I would route traffic through the @torproject network.

The grapheneos.org/#history section on the GrapheneOS site that the Copperhead CEO is so upset about was only added in April 2020 after 2 years of him aggressively pushing false narratives about us. I was very reluctant to talk about it on our site despite others recommending it.

We'll be making a dedicated page on the site about it with far more information, links to archived code and web pages and statements from people who were witnesses to what happened.
Can include renlord.com/posts/2020-03- and a dozen other people who were intimidated by them too.
