there were too many to list all of em but these're the biggest. there're definitely more, i just did ctrl+f when i thought of an instance name so i definitely missed some. will be editing this list to add them as i think of them
If you had read your own link, the second paragraph:
An Argentine captured naked in his yard by a Google Street View camera has been awarded compensation by a court after his bare behind was splashed over the internet for all to see.
He won $16,000 because Google didn't blur his butt in the picture.
Why would it need to blur it? If you were passing by, I assume you'd see it, so you might as well take a pic and use it for your own corporate needs. That's the logic we're talking about here, though it's not my logic.

I expect that big AI corps are scraping all content they can, so I think that all instances are scraped. The "good" part about Lemmy (not like R****t) is that the rest of the world can scrap the data too. So the power of our data is not only for big tech corps.

As I was reading the Murena’s terms of use I discovered that the voice to text feature introduced with e/OS/ 3.0 is using the Open AI API. That means our voice is sent to Open AI so they can translate it to text.
This is a standard Android feature called Mock Location.
> I can recommend a Fairphone with e/OS to prevent such events in the future.
The reality is that /e/OS is an extraordinarily insecure and non-private OS being marketed as something it's not. It does not provide people with the basic Android privacy/security patches and doesn't keep the basic security model intact. Murena even sells people already end-of-life devices.
Here's an article from a privacy and security expert (Mike Kuketz) which touches on various issues including severely delayed patches, user tracking in the update client and privacy invasive default connections:
> It does block trackers that are inside Android apps
All it provides is a terrible implementation of DNS-based filtering. Contrary to the false marketing, it cannot stop privacy invasive behavior by apps It blocks a small portion of client side connections to domains not used for actual functionality. Vast majority of privacy invasive behavior remains and it's trivially bypassed. RethinkDNS is a better implementation usable everywhere, but DNS-based filtering is very limited.
@djoerd @froge grapheneos manier van communiceren kan soms wel beter 😅, maar wat ze proberen te zeggen is wat hen je eraam als de beveiliging vrij 'lek' is? Dus met alles wat je nu opnoemt lijk je veilig te zitten, maar dat is dus een soort van schijnveiligheid.

@richarddebruin Meanwhile, their device is not receiving basic privacy and security updates to the OS and browser without many weeks or months or delays. They're currently missing remote execution patches for cellular, GPS, GPU and more. The device has no secure element, meaning disk encryption isn't actually working unless they're using something like a 6-8 diceware word passphrase which is highly unlikely. If they just use a typical random 6-8 digit PIN, it's trivial to bypass the encryption.
> To be fair, whilst Google gives the option of doing it locally, GBoard also defaults to sending the data off to Google with no obvious way to disable it other than restricting network access AFAIK
That's not true. Google explains how it works and has a toggle for offline processing called "Faster voice typing" where it downloads a model and does it locally. Apple does local processing by default and has a toggle to make sure no relevant data/metadata is sent. /e/OS quietly uses OpenAI.
@a There's no point where /e/OS shows any privacy notice or other explanation that the data is going to OpenAI. If users look into it, they may see that there's a Murena Text to Voice service but it's not obvious it sends data to OpenAI. No option for local processing is provided. Compare that to Apple with local processing by default and Google at least offering a toggle for it in Gboard and their other similar features. What makes it worse is the expectation /e/OS gives with their marketing.
@djoerd iPhones have far more substance behind their privacy and security marketing than /e/OS where users don't get basic privacy/security patches without huge delays or at all.
You've brought up 3 features in /e/OS which aren't in any way exclusive to /e/OS and which are poorly implemented in it. Not clear how that's meant to address the huge privacy and security flaws. Enumerating badness for DNS filtering also doesn't work nearly as well as they portray it, especially their take on it.
@a Gboard offline voice typing was added around 2019 and was exclusive to Pixels for a couple years. It's available across all modern Android devices now. It's similar with a lot of the other local AI features where it tends to start out as Pixel exclusive. A lot of these local processing features can require good hardware acceleration and lots of memory.
oh sorry, it's been a long time since I last used GBoard and when I did, it never prompted me with anything that implied there was any offline option at all, it just told me I couldn't transcribe whilst offline
That said, I was not trying to dispute anything about /e/ or murena
@sunshine @oxidand GrapheneOS was founded in Canada and it's where we formed our non-profit. However, it's a very global project and only 2 of 10 core developers are from Canada. We don't consider ourselves to be a Canadian project or for the project itself to be located in Canada. It's not located in a specific place and we're free to move our non-profit and main official build machines to another country if we choose. If those were in the EU, we'd be worried about their crackdown on privacy.
@monew Take it easy, I know all this. That's no reason to call e/OS fake, misleading and misusing EU funding. I still think e/OS is a great alternative to the Apple/Google duopoly for the average person. They're on your side. Happy to try Graphene once it runs on ethical hardware like the Fairphone.

@djoerd @froge Fairphone has always misrepresented the level of updates and long term support provided for their hardware. They present providing an update released in 2022 in 2025 as providing 3 more years of support than OEMs which shipped it on release day. That has never made sense. Fairphone's lags far behind on providing current OS updates with full privacy/security patches, typically a year or more. They lag 1-2 months behind on providing the partial backports to older Android releases.

@djoerd @froge Fairphone is directly participating in the false marketing by Murena for /e/OS. They present it as being far more private than it is and lead people to believe it isn't going to be using Google services and giving highly privileged access to them when it does.
Making baseless personal attacks on our team claiming we're delusional, paranoid, etc. has been repeatedly done by the founder of /e/OS and Murena. You're demonstrating how their community follows this lead.

@djoerd @monew Hello @GrapheneOS, I get a little tired about all those messages. First of all @djoerd is not attacking anyone. And I understand that he say paranoid. Look at all the messages he gets back? And Fairphone is a Dutch company that creating fair phones. I think you know their story. And their phones are more fair then Pixel phones. And they are not really an OS company. Maybe graphenos should work together with Fairphone so the next phone is fair and safe?
@richarddebruin @djoerd @monew You won't be following us for much longer so you'll be spared reading the accurate information we provide on these topics.
> First of all @djoerd is not attacking anyone.
They're promoting products in response to us with inaccurate marketing claims. They've repeatedly misrepresented our statements and made attacks on us, contrary to your claim here.
> And I understand that he say paranoid.
Part of ongoing personal targeting and harassment from /e/OS supporters.
They're choosing to repeatedly reply to the posts we make on our timeline, as you are. If you don't want to have a discussion, why start a discussion? Our instance has a limit of 500 characters and that's not enough to write detailed responses so we make multiple posts. In this thread, we've made 2-3 posts (below 1500 characters) for several responses. It's quite strange to imply that somehow makes us insane or paranoid.
> And Fairphone is a Dutch company that creating fair phones. I think you know their story. And their phones are more fair then Pixel phones.
We know for a fact that the claims about privacy, security, updates and long-term support are not accurate. Therefore, we're skeptical about other claims.
> And they are not really an OS company.
They make their own OS and are closely partnered with Murena, a company attacking GrapheneOS with misinformation for years.
> Maybe graphenos should work together with Fairphone so the next phone is fair and safe?
Fairphone doesn't need help from us to ship Android OS updates with less delay, to avoid delays for backports to older OS versions or to provide better overall security features.
Fairphone joined in to support Murena in their attacks on GrapheneOS by misleading people with a corporate speak response not addressing what we said in response to us debunking misinformation.
@matchboxbananasynergy @AcidePoulain When I dared to speak critic the last time towards gOS I was threatend by Daniel, so forgive me when I think this is quite a hypocrit behaviour. In my past experience it was this way: Either you are 100% the opinion of Daniel or you are against gOS. Your response here (and I asume you are a team member) is quite a pleasant surprise - thank you very much.
> When I dared to speak critic the last time towards gOS
No, what you did is misrepresenting our statements and actions. You did it in a context where you were supporting attacks on GrapheneOS and our team with misinformation and harassment.
> I was threatend by Daniel
No, you were told your behavior would result in a ban if it continued. You're now personally targeting someone on our team based on that in a highly inappropriate way.
@matchboxbananasynergy @AcidePoulain I got it, still no reflection on your side, only black and white, every critc is an attack. And I thought gOS would change. Makes me sad. Will continue to use the service, but still with little trust in you regarding socialising and communication. This is a bad sign for the peoject as whole.
@kleisli My FP4 came with /e/OS and I hated it... I couldn't get it to work right and support was absolutely worthless until they eventually quasi-admitted that many of the published features of the OS were basically their hope for the future. I finally installed LineageOS and I've been incredibly happy. Even with Gapps installed I've been finding many things that airgap me from Google while e/OS/ seemed to force me to integrate more just to make things work. @GrapheneOS @Fairphone @murena
I've always said. It's not good that cloudfare (or any single entity) "owns" half the internet.
For my self hosted stuff I refuse to use their services. I prefer to invest a little more time securing it from my side instead of giving them more control over internet.
It's not good that cloudfare (or any single entity) "owns" half the internet.
100% this^. Even if they aren't actively doing anything terrible that we know of, it still totally undermines people's privacy, even those of us who try to be careful about that sort of thing. Cloudflare is fingerprinting you when you visit sites that use their services for security, and like google, their sheer ubiquity across the web means they can effectively watch and track you wherever you go.
More and more I've been running into the full-page error "please unblock challenges.cloudflare.com to proceed" while just browsing around the web. A site is completely locked to any user who runs into this error; it's not just a popup notification, its a blank page with nothing but the error message and the only way to "fix" it is to whitelist their fingerprinting scripts. I use extensions like uBlock Origin of course, but for more fine-tuned script blocking, also uMatrix, so it's usually because of one of those that I get the cloudflare error. I could of course whitelist it,

But it's getting harder to stick with that principle as I run into it more all the time, even for sites that it never used to be an issue. It's also part of why it keeps getting more difficult to browse the web with TOR browser.
Fuck cloudflare. They've wormed their way into most of the web now but they've managed to do it in a quiet way that usually goes unnoticed if you're not a privacy nerd. Everyone knows google and amazon are evil and do all that they can to track anything and everything people do, but cloudflare is becoming just as insidious.
