However, we don't have a "hardened security" approach, we aren't developing a phone for pedo(censored) so they can evade justice.

I only found this, which seems to be it, or at least he answers very similarly, but no video: https://www.clubic.com/actualite-604786-murena-e-os-interview.html

Question was "La prise en charge de plusieurs types de smartphones ne se fait-elle pas au détriment de la sécurité? "

Seems to me that GrapheneOS is very right to point this out.

Mais surtout, il ne faut pas se tromper de combat : /e/OS permet à ses utilisateurs d’échapper à la collecte massive de données personnelles qui s’opère dans les smartphones du marché, pas d’aider les pédocriminels à passer sous les radars de la justice. Autrement dit : /e/OS n’est pas un système avec un objectif de sécurité durcie et qui serait utile seulement à des personnes ciblées.

English translation (by deepl)

But above all, we must not confuse the issue: /e/OS allows its users to avoid the massive collection of personal data that takes place on smartphones currently on the market—it is not designed to help child sex offenders evade the law. In other words: /e/OS is not a system designed for enhanced security that would be useful only to specific individuals.

@gael@mastodon.social Could you please explain why you keep bringing up the example of pedophiles and and child sex offenders? It's giving the impression that you're equating people desiring high security to pedophiles.
