TLDR: Drug dealers in Catalonia have started to adopt GrapheneOS en masse leading to Catalan police suspecting anyone with a Google Pixel is a drug dealer

    Have you ever seen someone in public use GrapheneOS? Of course they would suspect them if the drug dealers they caught all use the same operating system.

      How often are you staring at the screen of strangers’ phones to the point you can determine what operating system they are using? That’s really fuckin creepy, dude.

            Not people you know, a random civilian. Highly doubt that you have walked past a random civilian who uses GrapheneOS. It just makes you stand out way more and is extremely rare to find a random person using GrapheneOS

              I’m not looking at strangers’ phone screens close enough to figure out if they’re using GOS but I’ve noticed strangers using GOS a fair few times. Likely would a lot more if I were looking for it but I’m not trying to read everyone’s phone screens…

              It’s a fairly common OS and it’s fairly widely acknowledged that GOS is a big driver for Pixel sales.
