Really hope GrapheneOS isn't just Anom v2.0
Although to my knowledge I'm not doing anything illegal with it, but that doesn't mean I like being spied on...

Yo FBI, why don't you worry about the criminals in your own country violating the constitution every day instead of some people in fucking Estonia.
Because they'd have to arrest like every single FBI executive ever, and going after their own is generally frowned upon in such institutions.
The FBI agents that would be willing to do something probably already got purged...
Valid question, but this was several countries working together, at least eventually. It's not like the FBI gets to unilaterally arrest people in European countries. They provide the evidence to the local police.
It also isn't a new thing, the actual surveillance part was during Trump 1 and I think Biden.
That wasn't a question. Its like when you tell someone "why don't you go fuck yourself," you're not wondering why they're not fucking themselves. You're telling them to go fuck themselves. (Not telling you to go fuck yourself btw, just the most succinct example I could think of, lol) Point being, the FBI has bigger fish to fry than worrying about crime in another goddamn country. The biggest criminal grift is happening in US history right now and they're worrying about fucking Estonia.
What gives you the impression they're worrying about Estonia?
The sting operation was global. They had a network of compromised "secure" phones all around the world, including the US, between 2018 and 2021. Now they share the data they already have with the rest of the world. Likely this data got handed to the prosecutors here a long time ago, but the cases only wrapped up in 2025.
As for why they aren't frying the bigger fish - idk, if I was American I'd rather they do LESS at home because doing more work at home would mean arresting more minorities lol
You're missing the point entirely, not sure if intentionally or not. I think it was extremely clear I'm not talking about minorities.
Yes, intentionally.
They're not going to investigate their owner, why would they? No business ever does.
