The phone operates on a little-known and highly secure operating system called GrapheneOS

"little-known" - rude :(

Oh good, a fresh attempt to demonize having a phone with privacy.

Oh well, police solved crimes before they could retroactively surveil a person for months/years.

Damn, if that isn't a glowing endorsement...

I understand this is a Privacy forum but I suspect this news cycle is a distraction.

Maybe they should have done proper investigations aimed at penetrating the network instead of just seizing devices and thinking they can pop them into their zionist entity hacking devices and get their case delivered on a silver platter?

The old way would be build a case against someone in this network then flip them into an asset with threats of heavy jail time for their involvement in it and other crimes and get them to assist in penetrating it in exchange for sentencing leniency or even going free.

They still happily take the time to do this and secure informants when infiltrating leftist groups but criminals are not worth the hassle I guess.
