They say that GNU is spreading misinformation and "stop getting info from charlatans"?

FSF does not get in the way of security. FSF believes source code should be publicly available in order to even assume the software is secure or private. In a perfect world that would be nice. But in the real world, proprietary blobs are required to make the hardware functional. As long as OEMs are removed about open sourcing the firmwares, both GrapheneOS and GNU are right in their own way.

Oh, the FSF doesn't get in the way directly (they have neither the funding nor the personnel), they just misinform you to do so, so they're guilty in my book. Go read the edit in my prior comment.
