#4If an anti-worker company is getting fleeced, nothing wrong with that.
I hope motorola collaborates with Pine and brings linux to phones. In the age of LLM apps are obviously not a problem. (Hopefully windows Phone 7, not 8 also comes back)

The described behavior would not happen when you use a custom OS.
I understand not wanting to give Motorola any money because of this, though.

True. Google does much worse things overall, but they aren't as surface-level scammy as this.

The tail never wags the dog.
Initially the project won't change, but it likely will over time.

#10> In further digging, we noticed that the URL the phone opens up is “kira-abboud.com,” a website that references fashion influencer “@kirasfashionfinds.” Notably, this exact URL isn’t listed anywhere on Abboud’s social media, and the affiliate codes don’t match up either. The redirect coming from Motorola phones is using Amazona affiliate code “sramz-kff-008-20” which is completely different from any of the codes we saw from links shared by Abboud’s accounts and linked websites.
Something funny is up; this doesn't seem deliberate.
