WIRED: "[Daniel Micay and James Donaldson] Built a Legendary Privacy Tool. Now They’re Sworn Enemies"

Menkork:

people over there literally treat the project’s name like Voldemort now

It is interesting how this policy has stuck around on r/Privacy.

I totally agree with you @ThePrivacyDad that when I read the article this morning it came off as (almost unreasonably) favorable to Micay and GrapheneOS.

That being said, reading GrapheneOS’s forum post it’s pretty obvious why they are so disappointed anyways. They were asked a lot of questions that ultimately ended up having little to do with the final piece. Just from the introductory questions alone , I was surprised that despite GrapheneOS’s long written responses, Wired didn’t mention Dan McGrady a single time (seems like a third founder is at least noteworthy), and instead went along with this narrative of Micay and Donaldson just being two great buddies who went into business together.

At the end of the day it’s kind of a puff piece story and they probably wanted actual solid coverage.
