For what. Thats a lot of effort for a small userbase. And most importantly a userbase that doesn’t see Google ads. Custom hardware is expensive and doesn’t provide much additional data for most users and provides unprofitable data for degoogled phones.
Google doesnt spy on us just because they are evil. They spy on us to sell more expensive targeted ads.
I think you might be right, but it’s a little silly to think Google would only install spyware on a tiny fraction of their phones that they somehow had a premonition that GrapheneOS would be installed on.
Yea… Sure. You think Google doesn’t have hardware level telemetry? Ok buddy.
I got beach front property to sell you in Kansas.

The user base of Pixel phones is small? What?
I think they meant the userbase of grapheneos.

If it had, then we’d know about it.
Can the OS not monitor hardware level network usage on the device?
I’m curious if nobody has checked for something like that… it doesn’t sound hard to catch.
Maybe if it only activated over the mobile network?
Correct… The OS can not monitor TPMs. But TPMs can monitor the entire OS.
