Anybody who might be considering acquiring a “Freedom Phone” might want to have
a look at Matthew
Garrett’s analysis first.

Anyway. We have a company that seems to be combining blockchain and
MLM, has some opinions about Quantum Entanglement, bases the
security of its platform on a set of novel cryptographic primitives
that seem to have had no external review, has implemented an API
that just hands out personal information without any authentication
and an app that appears more than happy to upload all your contact
details without telling you first, has failed to update this app to
keep up with upstream security updates, and is violating the
upstream license.
