#12Freedom Phone comes with Newsmax and OANN apps pre-installed. This takes red flags to a whole new level. https://www.freedomphone.com/
The website states "Pre-Loaded Apps Some of the most popular banned & unbanned conservative sites & apps. Come pre-loaded directly on your Freedom phone." It's basically "Conservative Phone"

#13Anything that includes bloatware is untrustable. No question. Why even bother? You can't seriously run a project like this, add a load of bloatware, and expect to be trusted. Even that misjudgment is enough to understand that the people running this have no genuine interest in user privacy. Talk about undercutting your own reason for existing.
I think you might be misattributing their reason for existing.

#14Somehow with multiple comments about how embarrassing the phones association with republican organizations is, no one seems to be talking about how they backup your messaging data in a possibly insecure way and exposing peoples email address if you have an associated phone number.
Surely I can't be the only one who finds it incredibly frustrating to see how many people think being republican associated is noteworthy when in the context of scary privacy violations. It would seem to me you're just encouraging republicans to buy this phone. Surely, the privacy conscious people in this community want privacy for everyone regardless of political affiliations, right?

I don't see anyone in this thread doing this.

As of this writing, no comments exist that match that description. One comment mentions that it's a phone marketed at conservatives, but does not describe that association as embarassing.
