looks nice.
Quite funny his quote belos blog name

Pretty sure this is a honeypot. I have heard in other forums they leaked without court order website famous. If you search in google you will find some people saying they give info to authorities.
A big marketplace happened that with Flokinet apparently.
It is made for customers lacking the knowledge and the ressources to do the setup. Everyone with technical background can of course perform a Graphene OS install himself.
As side note for you as you are in the US: anonymous sim cards are not available in most european countries and we include also a VPN.
We do follow the law and if we recive a valid court order covering your server location we have to follow it as any other hoster as well unless you use a service run out of an north korean basement.
We operate since more then 10 years and we host plenty of large leak platforms including wikileaks.
We do not hand over customer information (your emailadress) unless there is an icelandic court order and you are free to signup as John Doe without providing data. Since 2012 we have recived not a single valid court order to handover customer information and therefore never did so. Feel free to provide proof otherwise.
Customer data (the data stored on your service) always follows the law the service is located in.
The big marketplace that you are refering to had the server copied with a valid court order but as the operator did not encrypted his drives the copy was indeed a problem.
We did handover each customer a copy of the court order so they also can take legal action if required.
As we are not an US based provider secret / sealed court orders do not exist for us and we provide customers always a copy so they are aware of any action taken.
We are not fixing your OPSEC failures, encrypting your drives is up to you but with the setups we provide easy to do.
And as a side note: the "competitor" marketplace encrypted his harddrives and just kept running after copies of the drives where made. Just know your OPSEC and you are fine.
The part was added towards ToS and AUP because during the first lockdown phase several countries like Romania banned providing false information and we got plenty of signups from "5G cause covid" people. To avoid this we simply added the text as otherwise we would need to explain them over and over again that they break the law.
Nobody stopped you from running a website criticizing lockdowns or telling people you dont like masks.
We draw the line at "vaccines kill and 5G cause covid" in a global pandemic. If you think that taking responsibility is not a good thing thats up to you.
Have you ever complied with a request for server data?
What exactly is the idea/point of this product?
Who are you staying private from?
Individuals, corporations, or governments?
In the modern world, everything is unsafe by default.
Before I started working in hosting, I was trying to find a new job for myself (it was in 1999) and met with the head of a small company that produced scrambler-type devices.
During its development, cryptoalgorithms of the USSR were used.
Using this device, you could call anyone who had the same device, and your conversation was 100% secure.
The aforementioned company was founded by a former KGB officer and, as he told me, the devices were mainly sold to Arab sheikhs.
That's all you need to know about everything advertised to be safe and anonymous. Any of such devices/software/services is a product of any secret service of the world, directly or indirectly.
not convincing
Yes, if there is a valid court order we have to follow it like every other webhoster as well. And in over 10 years and with currently 4 datacenter locations this of course is the case.
I december we will publish a new transparency report in our blog with details for 2022
What keeps you from it? Feel free also to contact us directly.
The point is for customers who are unable to setup Graphene OS themself to be able to buy such a phone. We have build this setup in the past for various customers and now simply offer it public.
Privacy and security depending on your threat model and need to be adapted accordingly and of course include governments.
So it can protect you from government spying as well?
There are multiple threads of discussion going on in this thread. I would prefer to avoid most of them. There are statements above about the motivations behind those who build secure computing and communications technologies, and they are incorrect.
I want to make plain and clear that the vast majority of people who design and build secure computing systems, secure communications systems, and privacy enhancing technologies are not designing and building them for criminal purposes or to enable criminal activities. I know this from direct personal knowledge and experience.
Again you need to adapt your thread model accordingly but so far GrapheneOS hardening has worked well against exploits but of course there is never a 100% security and you have to keep that in mind for everything you use.
Also spying comes with different actions and just running a secure phone wont protect you fully.
Well and happens if someone sign up and does a post about vaccine? You can be right of Romenia. But not for Finland or Iceland why we can't post that there?
For me and for others that is not freedom of speech, you lose clients and customers with that rule and you know it. Let people using Iceland Or Finland servers to do it.
If you don't like that, is still suspicious and not acceptable for a Freedom of speech project.
I will let @MannDude let his feedback about your replies Since we is also a freedom of speech defender. Please MannDude can you answer his points he is correct or not in your opinion?
For me isn't not.
It seems like the "COVID-19 misinformation" rule disappeared from the AUP.

@FlokiNET, I'm not your future customer.
If we dont like it its our own choice not to host it. That is not suspicious but a company decision to create a certain policy or to follow the law (as explained before).
As much as others might dont let you host adult content or leaked data of the US government.
That is fine, not everyone has to be
Where do you post your transparency reports? Can you give a link?
That's not the problem, the problem is that you mentioned that it was banned in romania, that's ok. It was forbidden to say that about vaccines in Romania, but was it also in Finland and Iceland?
That's where many people doubt, if you read this whole thread.
It makes no sense for you to be a supporter of free speech and not allow talking about Vaccines, 5G, nanochips, conspiracy theories.
It doesn't make sense, you can say what you want and you want to. No person who is in favor of freedom of expression will understand and understand this rule.
I didn't say that, but there are rumors that you guys helped dismantle and leak the SilkRoad website. Whoever said this is close to or had contact with one of the website owners.
Be that as it may, a project that claims to be in favor of freedom of expression and does not allow talking about vaccines (they could just block it in Romania) but no, it is on all servers and locations.
It's the same thing as me being a defender of freedom of expression and oppressing politics, government, corruption from being talked about. It makes sense? Obviously not!
Back in the days, the original MagicJack and Zfone (http://zfoneproject.com/) was the way to go until MagicJack blocked it.
That device is gatway to sell their Voip and Teamspark service ( based on matrix ).
Device is using Matrix based server for commuinication as per device order page.
