    As usual: this can be interpteted as Malware. That said, many apps are like this these days: full of trackers and way too many permissions. Most people never know or care.

    Mildly interesting: one of.the trackers seems to be related to Huawei.

    LOL, this is what they’ve been teasing?

    I genuinely look forward to seeing what the conspiracy folks have to say about this. They were already spun up about this being a final declaration of nuclear war. Such womp womp.

      Why do they pretend they didn’t create mass surveillance and data collection.

      An app that could be a website and wants a huge intrusive set of permissions? So just like every corporate social media thing ever.

        It was a feature specifically requested by Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski for their government airplane sexy times. And the developer forgot to remove it.

      Legitimate criticism aside, I found it funny they underlined “receive data from internet” among the other scary permissions.

      That’s the one thing a news app presumably should be doing

    How much you want to bet that it’s 100% vibe coded, tracks your every move, and has full access to all sensors?

    Hope I’m wrong.

      Well at least if it’s vibe coded it’s likely to be wrong about the data, anyways, while they are too stupid to retrieve it.

        Trump has never been much for requiring consent, especially when spreading herpes.

      Yup, they somehow managed to bundle obvious spyware and bold-faced propaganda into a single app, and somehow plenty of people seem okay with that.
