They are going to start loading GrapheneOS on phones from the start

I got a reply clarifying that theyre partnering with graphene. I figured I'd reply so you didn't miss it in the thread

I don't trust Motorola to make a phone that doesn't have numerous hardware backdoors. Motorola does a ton of work for both the US and Israel. If it sounds too good to be true than it probably is. I think the US/Israel gave Motorola a bit of cash to make backdoored hardware that's made specifically for a privacy hardened software.
