Them's fighting words in some states

This is a crucial stance for privacy-focused OS development. Requiring ID creates a single point of failure and potential surveillance vector. GrapheneOS's commitment to anonymous access aligns with the core principle that privacy should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their ability or willingness to provide identification. This is especially important for journalists, activists, and people in oppressive regimes.
