The “Freedom Phone” is a brand-new smartphone by Bitcoin millionaire Erik Finman running “Freedom OS,” a form of Android without any Google apps preinstalled. Instead, the phone comes pre-installed with conservative apps and sites that are banned or unbanned from the Google Play Store, including:

  • Parler (A social network that was banned for posing a “public safety threat” for it’s use in the January 6, 2021 storming of the U.S. Capitol)
  • Rumble (Canadian online video platform actively courting prominent conservatives)
  • Minds (Blockchain-based social network adopted by white supremacists and supporters of Donald Trump)
  • Telegram (Cloud-based instant messaging software often used for illegal activities)
  • NewsMax (Conservative news network known for pushing baseless election fraud claims and vaccine misinformation)
  • One America News (Conservative news network known for promoting conspiracy theories and vaccine misinformation)

The phone costs $499 and claims to work with all domestic and international carriers. The entire storefront is powered via Shopify.

Pretty ironic that the most American phone is in fact made in China

It was already a scam when it launched
