Well, from what I understood, in the privacy subreddit people were getting into it over Graphene OS and other privacy android OS’s. During this, I guess the Devs (or dev) we’re very petty or something and causing unnecessary in-fighting. Icould be telling this wrong but its something along those lines… To be clear, i think the actual rule is you cant specifically mention ANY 3rd party android OS, not just Graphene.

Nice! One commenter did point point some important context though. I recommend reading the “EDIT” at the bottom of my post plus a comment from someone named @ashaman2007 or something like that. Just to make sure you get the full context of how this actually works! I wasn’t fully aware when first posting.

Thanks for sharing! This also kind of clears up my confusion that I mentioned I’m the EDIT at the end of my post. I was wondering what the real benefit to this is but it seems like a password as the main with the pin and bio as the secondary seems to provide:

• Main unlock: More. Secure with password?

• Secondary unlock: “quicker” but also secure due to the pin with the bio.

Is this more or else the right idea?

Oh nice. Do you know if the lockdown option encrypts the phone?

From what I read, I believe on initial boot up, the phone is encrypted before first unlock but no longer after.

Makes sense. Also wasn’t aware of “IANAL” and was hesitant to google but got it. Thanks lol

Same here. Although I have no real reason with my threat level. But I could see how it could be relevant for some people. I also liked the idea because regular people could potentially use your thumb print when sleeping or something so this stops that Initial unlock.

True. I didn’t really consider the connection and more of the security side. I’m sure it differs but do you know if proof of ownership make a difference if they catch you with it in possession in the first place?

Sorry. Tried to make the title short and concise. Maybe wasn’t very clear. Lol

Lmaooooo great find. I wonder why exactly they had to clarify that? Maybe a semi Easter egg? Or a genuine concern? Thanks for sharing.

Not quite on topic but semi related… It’s reasons like this that I started reading privacy policies many times before signing up for a service.

People would be surprised at some of the extremely concerning things are listed in there. Some is for good reason but some stuff is absolutely unnecessary and should be an issue for some people.

Ive been using proton for a little more than a year now and I think that the service is one of the best out there. That, and their privacy guides in their blog are great as well. I think abandoning ship this early isn’t really a need. I’ve abondonded things like Plex for jellyfin due to Plex starting to feel very commerical. As others have pointed out, the governing of the company may keep one individuals views from interfering with the products. With that said, if your beliefs swing opposite, i see how it can leave a bad taste and make it worth keeping an eye on the direction of the company.
