It's "uncensorable" and it's 500 bucks and you can pay now but it doesn't exist yet. freedomphone.com
It promises an "uncensorable App Store" which means an app store full of spyware, scamware and malware.
It says it has its own FreedomOS Operating System. But if it did, it wouldn't have apps. So if it exists, it's an Android underneath.
"It Does Everything Your Current Phone Does." but there are no device specs at all because I assume there's no actual phone. They don't know what my current phone can do anyway so they can't make that promise.
"Ships in August". Sure it does.
Best case, this is some 100 buck Chinese phone reskinned with a tweaked Android and a sideloading insecure app store. Worst case it's a 500 buck donation to whoever these guys are, followed by a lot of chargebacks to Shopify who's hosting them.

Thanks to vaccines, Israel looked like the first country in the world to reach herd immunity from the coronavirus. But then Delta arrived. Daily cases shot up from less than 20 to around 750 in three weeks.
Most of the daily cases in Israel are now among vaccinated people. 56% of Israelis are vaccinated, and they make up roughly the same proportion of daily cases (though there are lots of demographic confounders in that data!)
On the other hand, only 1% of daily cases are people who previously tested positive for Covid, despite this group constituting 9% of the population. Again there are confounders here, but I think the effect is probably real.
The letter from @OversightDems to Cyber Ninjas asks them to produce details of who's funding the audit, any security issues, their interim findings and the wild conspiracies about bamboo and UV light. oversight.house.gov/sites/democrat…
Also asks for any communications between Cyber Ninjas and Trump, the Trump campaign, the 'audit' funders, Rudi, Sidney Powell, Lin Wood, Flynn, Byrne or Lindell.
At the Kraken sanctions hearing, the judge asks who spoke to the "expert witnesses" to determine their facts and conclusions. Asks first about Joshua Merritt, (aka 'Spyder')
Howard Kleinhendler says HE spoke to Spyder. He says he can't disclose the real truth about Merritt, because Merritt is a super-sekrit informant to government agencies. Now talking techno-nonsense about the dark web and URLs.
Kleinhendler insists Merritt/Spyder is a hyper-qualified CI and says it's not 'technically false' that Merritt was in the 305th.
Pfizer is now saying that this theory from February is true, and that the very high levels of antibodies that prevent mild infection do decline over 6 months or so to the point that another dose has value.
Lots of scientists seem sceptical about Pfizer's position on this, and the data showing a drop in effectiveness correlated to time in Israel has NOT been published.
The Complaint hits conservative antivax talking points: Fauci, CDC, scare quotes around vaccine misinformation.
Trump himself sees the Covid vaccines as a personal success. This complaint in his name is all about how antivaxxers are being censored on Facebook. Also, note how the Fauci/Zuck emails are described as "surreptitious" for some reason.
Rotha Lintorn-Orman founded the British Fascists in 1923, which was Britain's first fascist movement. Mosley's British Union of Fascists was formed partly by breakaway elements from her group
Suffragette Mary Richardson famously slashed Diego Velázquez's painting, the Rokeby Venus, to draw attention to women's right to vote. She became organiser for the Women's Section of the British Union of Fascists.
