I think I’m gonna donate to an open source Android OS each time Apple does this PR stunt that is filled with not-really-lies-but-basically-lies.

I sat down with Apple’s Craig Federighi to talk about the company’s child protection features. He spoke about the stumbles the company made in the announcement. I pushed him to explain everything in plain english. Here’s the exclusive video interview: on.wsj.com/3xDBbxK

The first donation, as a response of the on-device image matching in iOS 15, goes to GrapheneOS. Thank you for creating an iPhone out of Android phones.

The second donation, as a response of the FAQ Apple published on Aug. 9, goes to CalyxOS. Thank you for bearing with the GrapheneOS community's rather unique idea of what counts as misinformation and how Internet reputation works.

Money is far less important to us than not being constantly harassed and attacked with false claims. Either you can take it back the donation to us or it will be sent elsewhere. Not interested in donations from people who support malicious behavior towards us. It's not accepted.

Donation does not mean support for harassment and malicious behavior. Any form of harassment should not be tolerated. You are free to use the donation on legal combats with malicious behavior if it is more important for the project.

We'll happily use it to run several months of search ads to draw attention to what they're doing or on legal fees as part of planned legal actions.
