    @_Riccardo_ @sposadelvento @simonestalfieri @tecnologia GrapheneOS does not cause any issues with respecting radio regulations. This directive applies equally to devices like desktops and laptops. It does not force blocking installing another operating systems. News media is reporting this inaccurately. Samsung never allowed installing GrapheneOS on their devices due to either fully locking them or crippling them when another OS is installed including not allowing using basic security features.

      @_Riccardo_ @sposadelvento @simonestalfieri @tecnologia It’s not surprising for Samsung to lock the rest of their devices instead of only many of them. They were already not providing any serious alternate OS support. They made it difficult to support their devices and prevented doing it securely. They were only enabling hobbyist tier support for their devices due to how they crippled them.

      We don’t expect any actual issues for GrapheneOS due to this radio-related regulation in the EU.
