That's great. But sounds like the only phone they going to get is Motorola. And if us gov going to pressure motorola into compliance? Then what?

    It's not a federal law right now. It's CA afaik. So Motorola could sell non-grapheneos phones there (and people could just install later).

    It's like 7 different states at varying stages of "passed" and Meta's lobby is working on more for sure, wouldn't be surprised if they were also work on a federal version too.

    Probably are. I think it still think a federal age verification bill has low likelihood of passing, but I'd say that's more plausible than an outright ban on GrapheneOS
