GrapheneOS bails on OVHcloud over France's privacy stance
""We no longer have any active servers in France and are continuing the process of leaving OVH." "France isn't a safe country for open source privacy projects. They expect backdoors in encryption and for device access too. Secure devices and services are not going to be allowed. "We don't feel safe using OVH for even a static website with servers in Canada/US via their Canada/US subsidiaries.""
""Guys, we like what you develop. It's great!" "But the way you explain your issue is confusing. Reading your tweet, you can imagine something bad happened to your servers in OVHcloud. It's not the case. Nothing happened.""
GrapheneOS has ended active server presence in France and is in the process of leaving OVHcloud over concerns about France's approach to digital privacy and sovereignty. The project cites expectations of enforced backdoors in encryption and device access, and expresses distrust of OVH subsidiaries in Canada and the US. OVHcloud CEO Octave Klaba denied any technical incident with servers and called the project's explanation confusing. France supports proposed EU "Chat Control" legislation that could mandate service backdoors, while Germany rejected it. OVHcloud faces Canadian legal action over data on French servers, raising precedent concerns. A UK cloud provider warned of consequences if the Canadian position is upheld.
