GrapheneOS migrates server infrastructure from France amid police intimidation claims

The GrapheneOS project has announced on X that they are ceasing all operations in France, asserting that the country is no longer safe for “open source privacy projects”.

While the operating system will still be available to French users, all website and discussion servers are being relocated abroad.

Until now, the project relied on OVH Bearharnois, a French hosting provider, for its core website and social media services. The migration plan moves the Mastodon, Discourse, and Matrix instances to a combination of local and shared servers in Toronto. Critical website infrastructure will be hosted by Netcup, a German‑based company.
