I heard about this. And seeing all the hit pieces on it tells me its worth looking into.

I would be concerned about any phone created and manufactured by China.

All such phones currently keep tabs on its citizens. How do we know the spyware is not there?

If the freedom phone works with any carrier and the carriers are tracking you how does the freedom phone stop it?

The $500 Freedom Phone

I can buy an inexpensive Android phone and load it with Signal, ProtonMail and other apps with end-to-end encryption. Those inexpensive Android phones are made by China, but so is this $500 phone.

If I have concerns about whether the phone OS is snooping on me - well, does this Freedom Phone use an open-source Android fork that I can take a look at? Why should I take their word that they aren't bad actors, or that they are competent?

Is the Freedom phone the latest and greatest version of this: The FBI’s honeypot Pixel 4a gets detailed in new report ?

I’m reminded of the “armed protests planned in every capitol” op by the feebers earlier this year.

May as well go all-out Coast-to-Coast. Perhaps this "freedom phone" syncs with the nanochip contained in the experimental injection accessible through secure servers located in Bill Gates's basement and in George Soros, et al.'s attics.

No, perhaps not ... although I have reached the point where I think just about anything is possible (from both the perspective of rapidly advancing technology as much as from the accelerating pace of the devolution of social behavior and citizen-to-citizen interaction and respect) -- that just about anything anyone (particularly those in positions of power, authority and/or trust) comes as a surprise ... an increaslingly frequent unpleasant surprise -- I am not quite to the tin-foil hat stage ... but I'm slowly getting there. (Good thing I'm in my 70s which will provide a good excuse when I eventually get there! ... I could someday even be President!) Now, back to work on these engineering reports due to the client next week; proof that I'm not yet completely gone!) Cheers!

Website says they’re ‘out of stock’ and to leave an email so they can contact you when they have phones available.

Sounds like a get rich quick scheme taking a cheap phone and simply re-branding it. There are apps that will give military encryption to your text messaging for free on android OS phones.

Most phones are made in China....along with almost everything else in our homes.

It would be terrible if governments couldn’t monitor our every word, text, and location at all times.
