   I hate the authoritarian mindset security freaks have.

     Rejecting a badly designed privacy feature which is done in an anti-privacy way and unnecessarily ties devices together is the opposite of theater. In GrapheneOS, we care a lot about implementing things correctly and not misleading users about what's provided. We want to provide a better form of this feature than what people are asking for but it's very difficult to provide a good feature within the way app-based VPNs work on Android. We're busy fixing upstream leaks.

     We need to fix several different forms of leaks in the Android VPN system. Adding a major new feature with an improper design and leaks is the opposite of what we want.

     We have to choose what to prioritize and how to design the features we include. We were responding to someone that's proposing we choose our priorities and how to design features based on opening up a voting system to everyone.

     Why should people who aren't experts or doing any work decide on what to do?
