  It isn’t criticism if it isn’t based on fact.
  The U in FUD stands for Uncertainty; and what do you think “might” falls under, or it’s relation to sowing Doubt?

  The law related to job postings, is a labor law, that also covers minimum wage, and uses the same definitions.
  Labor Code Section 432.3 (Pay Transparency Law)
  Labor Code Section 1197.5 - California Equal Pay Act (Fair Pay Act)
  Labor Code Section 2750.3 (Employee vs Independent Contractor Classification)

  Let me do the work for you; since you’d rather just spread FUD then look for facts.
  1) https://www.linkedin.com/company/grapheneos/people/
  - 0 California “employees” listed
  2) https://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/SB3_FAQ.htm (I just want to point out that there is a distinction; and I am not a lawyer)
  “Any individual performing any kind of compensable work for the employer who is not a bona fide independent contractor would be considered and counted as an employee, including salaried executives, part-time workers, minors, and new hires.”

  It also sounds like they are trying to fill a part-time role.
  “Must be able to commit to spending 80 hours or more a month” = ~20 hours a week, but given the ebb and flow of release/bug/patch work needed…

  FUD
  1) GrapheneOS is a non-profit out of Canada.
  2) It’s an “independent contractor” role. California has specific laws governing the classification of workers as employees versus independent contractors.

  I don’t know if there’s really a better way to manage this need. They need a pretty niche specialized developer, so you have to cast a pretty wide net (globally, mind you) for remote work.
  1) It’s a pretty small global team.
  2) How would they financially/legally manage the burden of tax/benefit/workers rights across all boarders; especially as a non-profit.

  Yes, people should know what they are getting into, with independent contractor work.
  I just think there is (probably) some nuance to this particular case; where hiring people on as an employee doesn’t make a lot of sense.
