Dude, the answer is literally on the corresponding wikipedia page.

GrapheneOS currently is only compatible with Google Pixel devices,[23] due to specific requirements that GrapheneOS has for adding support for a new device, including an unlockable bootloader and proper implementation of verified boot.[24][25] In October 2025, GrapheneOS said that it was working with a “major” Android OEM on future devices that would support the OS on Qualcomm Snapdragon platforms,[26][27] and that they will be the flagship devices, expected to appear in Q4 2026 or Q1 2027.

Yeah, it sounds good until…

Nope

The plan also includes sharing of mail addresses and phone numbers you communicated with in the last 5 years. Everybody has that.

The whole world is looking down the barrel of a gun who just shot a bullet at them. Instead of ducking so that it only grazes an arm, our governments are trying to headbutt it.

My mom always told me, if one kid doesn’t want to play with me he might be a dick. If no one wants to play with me I might be a dick. I’m paraphrasing obviously.

I’ve been using their service for a long time now and have been happy. Their GUI client is ok, but they also have a CLI client which I appreciate for automating stuff. I’m however paranoid and don’t upload files as is. Everything is backed up to an encrypted virtual drive which I upload as one giant file.

The package also seeks to simplify cookie consent and update GDPR to allow firms such as Google, Meta and OpenAI to use some personal data for AI training under new safeguards.

WTF…

I think you’re missing the point. A brit without VPN has to use his actual digital ID to access pornhub, as in name, address, birthday, etc… With a VPN you can spoof your location and access pornhub without ID. This has nothing to do with masking your IP to browse the web.

So what is this ban even targeting?

UK is one of the forerunners in regard to online ID checks, for example for porn sites. Brits now regularly use VPNs to escape those checks

You think people installing Win7 in 2025 know what a botnet is?

I agree on the first part. Sadly, toleration is basically a german national sport

This is clearly a foot in the door situation. A couple of months after this law becomes encorcable, the option will be turned on by default and can optionally be turned off. A couple months later it can only be turned off with an actual ID check. Boom, complete transparency who does what and where on the internet.

No suprise here. Merz is and will always be an egocentrical opportunist. He’s been spouting populist garbage since his campaign in an increasingly unsuccessful effort to steal votes from the fascist AfD.

Oh they understand. At least in the official proposal that was recently withdrawn by Denmark, political figures where exempt of the encryption breaking procedures.

Massive investments from conservative US lobbies to european think tanks to control politics:

Everything declines in germany except for fascism

Baroness Lloyd, said in the UK House of Lords that “nothing is off the table” when it comes to protecting children online, though she acknowledged there are “no current plans to ban the use of VPNs”.

So there are plans to ban the use of VPNs

I’d rather use x11 than windows. But you do you.

An austrian dude supporting fascim and genocide. Seems familiar…

Having this info because of legitimate needs to provide a service and a third party processing it with AI without explicit consent for their benefit is a huge difference.
