Bitcoin dork launches ‘Freedom Phone’ scam for MAGA mob

[ad_1]

You have to hand it over to baby-faced Bitcoin millionaire Erik Finman: Guys are good at spotting a lucrative scam opportunity miles away. Finman (who we must assume to be a financial man’s coat rack) surveyed the landscape of contemporary America and spotted the piss-yellow glitter of gold glittering from the crumpled khaki pockets of the post-viewing set. midday of Fox News week. The pickaxe he uses to dig up this treasure? An overpriced waste called the Freedom Phone.

Advertised with a proudly waving American flag, the Freedom Phone is featured on its website as completely. Uncensored. It’s first called a free speech and privacy-focused phone that includes features like tracking blockers and an uncensored app store that will let you read what you like.[,] look what you like [, and] think what you like. Basically, that just means it’s preloaded with Speak, the plague rat-infested open sewer version of the already crappy Twitter, and it has a VPN at all times.

It also costs $ 499.99 and is advertised with this video, which is a sight to see.

After presenting the historic peril of private social media sites by belatedly and ineffectively enforcing the bare minimum of hate speech controls, Finman says he created the Freedom Phone to fight for our rights to insult someone. one online without suffering any consequences. Resplendent in an oversized mock-neck sweater, with his barely audible words to rousing orchestral music, the inventor boy discusses the PatriApp Store. Finman also touts privacy features quite similar to those enabled on most browser apps, and warns viewers that if social media operators can censor a president, they’ll censor anyone.

Imagine if Mark Zuckerberg censored MLK or Abraham Lincoln, he says, without the slightest hint of irony. The course of history would have changed forever.

A Finman Twitter thread preemptively laments the inability of US manufacturers to make the MAGA-compatible device, promises that it was not created in mainland China, and explains that it is produced by the free and loving people of Hong Kong freedom.

Since its announcement, the Freedom Phone has turned out to be a slightly reworked Umidigi A9 Pro, made by a Chinese manufacturer and typically selling for around $ 120. Its custom Android Freedom OS based operating system also appears to be very vulnerable to hackers because, as CNET notes, it is not officially supported and might not get the latest patches and security updates. Gizmodo calls this a potential security (and therefore privacy) nightmare. And, to show their confidence in the product, Finman and his supporter Candace Owens (one of the right-wing promoters who gets $ 50 per phone sold) were tweeting about the cool new device in their iPhones.

Now, take two, please.
