All that stuff was being sent around in the .ml Privacy community again recently, including their favourite conspiracy theory involving Techlore, Louis Rossmann and Nicholas Merrill (founder of Calyx Institute and CalyxOS). According to the GrapheneOS cult, Techlore and Rossmann are paid employees of Merrill's and have been attacking GrapheneOS on his behalf. Zero evidence, of course. Just the usual "source: trust me bro" you expect from GrapheneOS.
And as usual, a lot of it was orchestrated in the comments by a moderator of the GrapheneOS community here. Guess what the thread was about? Yes, another attack on the security and privacy of /e/OS. It's all so predictable.
It wasn't just the .ml Privacy community.
This clusterfuck of a thread is from GOS's own forum
That thread gave me motivation to actually watch Techlore's video that they claimed was part of that "conspiracy". I watched from start to finish and saw nothing but objective information with sources to back it up. Same with Louis' video (he brings receipts for everything anyway).
This whole situation has made me think about what actually happened with Copperhead OS. Is Micay paranoid because of that? Or was it Micay's paranoia that caused the Copperhead OS situation in the first place?
It's to be expected within the cult's own echo chamber.
