Since they repudiate the alleged claim I ask: qui bono? Who benefited from imputing they did?

>The OP of this reddit post has a lot of other posts (now hidden) about age verification, bypassing it, and privacy. They even got called out about this in the reddit thread and responded by hiding their profile, but you can see it on google still if you google for “reddit PaiDuck”

They may be trying to vilify Yoti, they may be farming karma, they may be trying to discourage people from using GrapheneOS.

There have been a media attempt in France to vilify GOS and there was coverage of police in Spain being suspicious of Pixel users. The De and Para from the Protonmail UI in the reddit post indicates Spanish or Portuguese

I don't understand why you draw that conclusion. Based on:

That just sounds like a privacy-conscious person doing things privacy-conscious people would do.

If they are faking emails, which is what we are speculating, causing an uproar like this, they are not doing normal privacy things.

Wrong dynamic to focus on, as at most it's either some competitor from their same cesspool, or just a social media karma farmer. The main dynamic is that the original claim is easily believed, as it's not any kind of stretch to think that a privacy-invading surveillance company would be hostile to secure operating systems. The only real question is what hostile methods they actually do employ, right?
