    You’re assuming they have a google pixel, also the grapheneos founder isn’t trustworthy

    If you use discord on a seperate user profile, you’re still using discord, they still get your data. Sandboxing isn’t a perfect solution

    The correct thing is to refuse, it is your (or your parents) legally owned hardwarw and they can not control it. They can’t force you to sign privacy policies

    The fact that people are saying to comply with what your school says saddens me

      Louis Rossmann still recommends GrapheneOS to this day. The drama of a programmer shouldn’t extend to the quality of the (FOSS) code itself.

      With FOSS, trust simply isn’t necessary. Anyone can verify the functionality of the code.

      He have stepped down since march this year I believe. No need to trust , verify. He was a bit of a removed but that doesn’t mean GOS is not trustworthy. Sandboxing on a separate profile ( truee separate which you only get on grapheneOS) combine with VPN , blocklist (VPN or DNS) and no gapps . Not that much. Especially if you run enterprise versions of apps. In EU it wouldn’t be legal.

      Depends on your leverage here. But best to change school policy here. In many countries it would not be possible to force people to install WhatsApp or other programs on personal devices. Otherwise they have their own software or use email. Another thing if they provide the hardware.
