Freedom 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"

Anything 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.

That marketing video on the homepage is... not particularly convincing, and watching it gives me secondhand embarrassment.

Does that video... actually have the "Activate Windows" watermark in the thumbnail?
