They’re trying to argue national security for Anthropic, a US based company.
How does the government ban an os? Can’t is a strong word, but I don’t see that happening. It’s a Canadian based foundation, not a Chinese or Russian company where they could argue national security in the same way they did with Huawei or TikTok.
It’s more likely a federal os-level age verification law gets passed and grapheneOS compromises or backs out out of the US market.

The idea is that you can sell a phone without a system, but you can always enter one in binary through the power switch. See? Win Win!

GrapheneOS is not a company doing business. If they’re banned, that just means Motorola can’t sell pre-installed phones, but that doesn’t change anything about the phone compatibility with GOS. You’ll have to install it yourself, just like today.
