unfortunately fairphone's goals do not align with Graphene's. the former lead dev of graphene daniel micay (who is by far a controversial figure, but if you're hoping to use Graphene then im sure you're aware) was VERY critical of fairphone.

i tried to find an old twitter thread where he gave more specifics, but i dont have twitter and it's currently being elon'd, so the best i could find currently is this wayback link: https://web.archive.org/web/20230601122507/https://twitter.com/DanielMicay/status/1444040811998588930

there was a lot more to this though than his complaining in that tweet. fairphone would need to take security a lot more seriously before graphene turns its' eyes on them.
