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.
Ah, spyware.
yep, there is ZERO chance i’m installing trumps digital herpes on my phone.

Anyway; already added to my filterlists:
Why
expires: 12 hours?Because I change it frequently and it’s basically a personal list for me.
Some thoughts:
- Its good to have an easily-acessible resource for official govt info
- However, The White House already has publicly accessible RSS feeds. This does seem to go beyond that with videos and live streams though.
- This will most certainly be used to spread and give credence to propaganda
- Given the aptitude of this admin, I give it about a month before its hacked and used to spread false information.
- No need for a hacker there, it will have false information from the start
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.

Don’t listen to their filtered content! Listen to our filtered content!
What’s fucking asshole ad network is Newsweek using where their auto play video ads have audio enabled? Closed that tab damn quick
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
“Version 47.0.0”? LOL
Ah, the next step of Gleichschaltung.
