To Lemmy users sure. But who outside of Lemmy, privacy nerds, and android enthusiasts even know what Graphene OS is?

Even my friends who are Android nerds had never heard of it until I started asking them about it. Graphene is a niche of a niche of a niche.

    Nobody really but if they advertise it right it has potential since even normal people care about privacy

    The average person really doesn't give *that *much of a shit about privacy. If they did FB, Google, etc wouldn't be so big and profitable as they are. They Apple care about privacy.

    Yep the average person tends to prioritise ease of use and simplicity over privacy and most people are willing to give up the privacy for this. Although, the more obvious and in or face the privacy lose comes the less likely they are to go for it. If I went up to a person in real life and said "give me a copy of your government ID and I will perform X service" most people are unlikely to hand over the ID.

    If the phones get marketed well enough, people might corelate digital and physical privacy losses

    If normal people cared about privacy we wouldn't be in this situation to begin with and the world would look very different today.

    I swear Lemmy users are as naive as I was at age 20.

    The average people do care about privacy, they just either prioritise ease of use, can't corelate digital privacy with physical privacy or simply are unaware. If google flashed in big text on the account creation screen the important thing in their privacy policy instead of hiding it, I believe you would have fewer google account creations
