Their endgame is to jail women who have abortions. So yes, bad.

It's all fun and games until they jack your insurance rates 10x for having weird vital signs and sleeping 18hr/day.

They'll give them for free ... remember, you're the product and the data is the value added.

If my cell phone was designed to track HR, glucose, whatever without my consent, I'd stick an icepick through whatever sensor did that. I refuse.

$50-100 to use the phone? I have a perfectly good T-Mobile pre-paid plan that's $15/month. Generally have access to WiFi, so I don't need more than 5GB of data.

The phone? Android device (dual SIM with micro SD card so that cloud storage isn't needed) bought for $120 in Europe.

Bingo ... the endgame is for the insura-vermin to create a pregnancy database.

The spyware is the feature... Use it to spy on anti Trump postings, keep his sheep in line. Maybe require it for gov employees' work devices as well and use it to spy on their work communications, make sure they don't undermine the Dear Leader.

Swamps are actually diverse biomes. He's turning it into a monoculture. The metaphor is apt, just not in the way he thinks it is.

So not even a respectable Android device, a TEMU device. Sounds about right.

You think that Trump won't try to require use of this service for gov employees' work devices? Ahahahahahahaha.

Parts Europe are leading in unsexy industries that actually matter. Look at France's CO2 emissions compared to the US (due to electrification and clean nuclear power) and weep. We don't need AI verminators. We need clean, carbon free electricity. And train. Lovely trains. France slaps at both.

As much as people bitch on Verizon, my FiOS (basic internet, no router, no phone, no TV, 200/200 or so) has been approximately $50 per month for years.

Or the US government could buy the phones and set them up as official devices for public employees, who'll then be milked for their data. Scammy-scam. Think of the long grift.

If you criticize the Dear Leader (tm) online, the "doctor" will make a "house call." Old-fashioned service, 1930s style.
