The GrapheneOS project has announced on X that they are ceasing all operations in France, asserting that the country is no longer safe for "open source privacy projects".

While the operating system will still be available to French users, all website and discussion servers are being relocated abroad.

Until now, the project relied on OVH Bearharnois, a French hosting provider, for its core website and social media services. The migration plan moves the Mastodon, Discourse, and Matrix instances to a combination of local and shared servers in Toronto. Critical website infrastructure will be hosted by Netcup, a German‑based company.

    I recently switched to graphene after years of putting it off. I love how it works and it feels great to not have to think about who's tryna get in my data or sell me some garbage. I hope they can continue the project safely I'd hate to see them suffer for a good thing.

    Is that the Arc de Triomph or is it Washington Square Park in NYC? I don't remember trees being that close in Paris. I'm very curious. Haha
