Active Conspiracy with smartphones, & OPSEC, I am being extremely censored & banned for politely asking a question about GrapheneOS/GooglePixel on http://www.discuss.grapheneos.org, & comparing it to open source chinese OnePlus brand, & very disturbingly got immediately & arbitrarily banned.
--Basically, my goal & question is, what is the most secure & anti-forensic smartphone there is?
And GrapheneOS/GooglePixel, comparing that to Kali Nethunter on a OnePlus smartphone, which is better/safer?
My same question & post has also been shadowbanned on 5 different reddit subs, very disturbingly, literally every place on reddit I’ve posted this same question/scrutiny about GrapheneOS/GooglePixel.
Here was my post & question:
https://pasteboard.co/EDR4vJROTfvr.png
This screenshot was the only response/reply i got on my post: https://pasteboard.co/lnB9jMLSK4SR.png
& in addition, I received a private inbox message from grapheneOS admin rudely accusing me of lying(which i wasnt) & saying I am being "indefinitely banned":
The expert I am personally in communication with,who is critical of grapheneOS & questions it, this expert saw their reply & private messaged me this:
"But when you install Kali Nethunter to the OnePlus, you get a new bootloader. But I see that wasn't mentioned by them, so that erroneously came sideways when it wasn't relevant. It's like Grub.
You don't risk your organization by not cooperating with law enforcement if you simply keep silent. For example, go onto Westlaw or LexusNexus and tell me a case where Offensive Security provided backdoor access to Kali. Or even back in the BackTrack days Smile No cases to date. Further, look at what VeraCrypt told law enforcement. They said we can't crack a proper implementation of our product, nor do we have any desire to. Whereas, in contrast, google totally cooperates with law enforcement.
–”Also, back to the bootloader not being open source. I can't tell you how many times I had to rescue somebody who was unable to reinstall windows because they dabbled in Linux, and were unfamiliar with Grub Bootloader. Likewise, when you install Kali Linux Nethunter to a phone on the nethunter page, which is tailored for that phone, you have a new bootloader that comes with it. Just like a computer. So that's why the triggerhappy ban slingers...the radical left...really contributed nothing of substance in their reply. Sounds like they would rather use a Google OS which is NOT open source or free to audit, than an open source, peer audited, hacker OS. You reckon?"
Lastly, here is an interesting provider of anti forensic smartphones & laptops, dont know much about them tho:

Any system that claims to be anti-forensic/secure is funded by the feds because they can break it. A truly secure system would state clearly "nothing is secure when is against the well funded US Government but here is an attempt anyway"
Smartphones are the most insecure devices second only to laptops.
A a relatively secure computer would be an old desktop with a dual core, hard drive, iGPU and nothing else.
The operating system should either be *UNIX or *BSD running LTS versions of everything kernel, ESR browsers etc
Use modern protocol such as Wayland for window system and avoid X.ORG/backwards compatibility. Packages that provide support for unnecessary protocol that allow screen capture etc should not be installed in the first place.
Always use KVM or Xen over VirtualBox and do everything through VMs
On your browser completely block javascript, WebGL, SVG etc but you can enable javascript for specific sites/domains
For smartphone, don't own one.
Never use anything in the cloud, nothing.
Keep installed packages to a minimum
Use disk encryption
Harden your BIOS
Make sure your devices are in a secure location
Always shut things down when not using
Have a backup plan and a backup plan for the backup plan
Prepare for shit and fans they will most definitely collide

prince97,
Thanks for your comment & advice. How do u recommend backing up data offsite on daily basis, if u dont recommend using a cloud?
2.)Are you also recommending using a PC that has no CPU? only a GPU? maybe i dont understand.
-Thanks!

Backing data through encrypted harddrives is way to go
Only CPU no GPU* the CPU can act as a GPU too

Basically the fewer components the fewer points of failure. Anyone making outrageous claims such as "fully anonymous" "not hack-able" etc should be a automatic red flag. Anything is possible when you have an unlimited budget and some of the smartest personal. Things that are "proprietary" usually are either run by the feds or the easiest things broken into by them, open source allows for everyone to work together and realize/solve POF. Best wishes
