    Sorry, what is the story about guy in USA with GrapheneOS?

    Someone else linked the story, but do note that he isn’t in jail. Or wasn’t last I looked a week ago. He IS facing criminal charges, which is very serious. It will most likely become a Big Important Case and could even get appealed up and up until it reaches SCOTUS.

    Current SCOTUS is corrupt. But sometimes they have managed to make good rulings anyway, such as in Carpenter v. United States, and Chatrie v. United States, about GPS location privacy.

    I say this b/c social media leads ppl to believe extreme versions of events. There were allegations in another lemmy thread that this GrapheneOS Guy was in prison. He is not. He was at his own home. But he is facing a very stressful future as a criminal defendant. He may, hopefully, be exonerated. But it remains to be seen, how it will go. Anything could happen.
