I think this is awesome. I mean, I won’t be buying one, but this is just amazingly awesome. Any bets on who the first proud HROT owner is?
But you get access to the FreedomOS and the PatriApp App Store. Plus - your data, your rules with Trust. I think you’re missing out on the game changing implications of this bastion of freedom tech!
Has anyone’s arrived yet? @freedomlovinghrotersoneandall
I definitely won’t be buying one, but there is quite a bit of truth to some of the stuff he said.
Great idea. Capture 5% of that base 30% and they will have a booming business. Likely with a huge return as the phones look like refurbished androids from a couple of years ago.
Have to assume all the Parler people are already signing up, son of a gun I wish I had thought about a damn freedom phone.

Oh, wait....who was the guy who sent in $$ for the Border Wall, then doubled down after people pointed out that Bannon and his buddies spent all their money on yacht parties?
That guy MIGHT get one before coloradonoles, but it'll be a tight race IMO.

Nah. I’m an iPhone fanboy and won’t be changing anytime soon this being legit or not.

"Cellphone Self-Own"
This is just sad.
I USED to think Candace had a lot of potential, apparently I was a fool.
I prefer the Apple App Store because of all the restrictions. I know I won’t accidentally download an app that will load my phone with garbage, viruses, malware, and so forth.
A completely unregulated App Store on a dated technology platform… sounds like a nightmare. Wouldn’t recommend using any banking, cryptocurrency, work, e-mail, or other important apps on that thing.

I like how people who do nothing at all important think the government is keeping track of how many Oreos they’re eating.
Didn’t you hear? Someone from the government has been reading public comments posted on Facebook! No respect for privacy!
Bigger issue is that Google and Apple have control on their respective app stores....until everyone using it downloads Google, Facebook, etc.
You can't argue that someone bitching about Facebook should just make their own social media app, and then ban it for the 99% of market share that Android and Apple hold.
This steps more toward what Android was supposed to be when it came out.

No respect for freedom of speech!
They should be banned.
The important point you are missing is I don't see where she's stating "the government" should be the entity banning them.
Then why is "the government" sending lists to these companies of posts and posters to censor?
You can't pretend they're not driving this when they declare to the world that they are.
Well, you can, but you're special.
MAGAts love anything with the “Freedom” or “patriot” branding. Too bad none of them really love freedom in practice
Of course the government shouldn't be, but should the government be making recommendation(s) that private entities should either?

Because the companies have policies that ANYONE can send the "lists/posts".
"The government" has no ultimate "say" in what they do.
And you think it's a role of the "the government" to request censorship?
Authoritarian at heart, aren't you?
There is no reason that ANYONE should be precluded from reporting disinformation that is dangerous propaganda to the social media platform admins. Whether they are employed by "the government" or by anyone else.
Joes Place wants "the government" to report posts and posters for censorship.
We get it.
No
I don't want "the government" explicitly excluded from doing so.
None of those social media outlets restrict "government employees" from reporting content.
The government should NOT be telling them to "ban this....or else...."
But there is nothing improper with reporting it.
Yeah…we should definitely let the people handling the treasury with the ability to grant any wish possible, influence public message boards and information. I’m sure you would have been all for Trump “suggesting” all kinds of things to these CEO’s, just before handing out treats for compliance.
Yes, you don’t want “the government” excluded from doing so because you want them to do so. You‘ve already said it. We get it.
These “government employees“ are not requesting censorship on their own time. Psaki made that clear.
We can safely assume you are simply naive regarding the amount of power the government has over these companies.
“Nice little acquisition you’re planning there, would be a shame if it wasn’t approved. Oh, we think you should censor these posts and posters from the internet, but you don’t have to. You decide if you want to make us unhappy with you or not.“
No
I don't want them excluded from reporting inappropriate/dangerous content.
That is not "government censorship".
You want the GOP weighing in about misinformation on climate, immigration, trans folk and elections. Got it.
