Trump can’t really do anything. It’s a UK warrant backed by an extradition treaty between the US and UK signed Congress. Pardon inapplicable. Now, his soft power and influence may bring influence to bear, but he’s limited by his actual authority to do anything.

And now Trump has overruled the policy and said they should continue.

Probably are. I think it still think a federal age verification bill has low likelihood of passing, but I’d say that’s more plausible than an outright ban on GrapheneOS

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.

It’s not a federal law right now. It’s CA afaik. So Motorola could sell non-grapheneos phones there (and people could just install later).
