Wowy wow wow wow! I’m sure none of y’all planned on downloading the malware from the Mango, but just in case, DO NOT. It will:

Inject JavaScript into every website you open

Has a full GPS tracking pipeline always on.

Loads JavaScript from a random person's GitHub Pages site (lonelycpp.github.io) for YouTube embeds.

Loads third-party JavaScript from Elfsight (elfsightcdn.com/platform.js) for social media widgets, with no sandboxing.

Sends email addresses to Mailchimp, images are served from Uploadcare, and a Truth Social embed is hardcoded with static CDN URLs. None of this is government infrastructure.

Has no certificate pinning.

Ships with dev artifacts in production.

Profiles users extensively through OneSignal - tags, SMS numbers, cross-device aliases, outcome tracking, notification interaction logging, in-app message click tracking, and full user state observation

I Decompiled the White House's New App

The official White House Android app has a cookie/paywall bypass injector, tracks your GPS every 4.5 minutes, and loads JavaScript from some guy's GitHub Pages.

As the U.S. sinks into dictatorship -- malevolent rule by corrupt politicians and oligarchs -- the institution I know the best has almost completely failed to recognize, much less counter, the threat. Big Journalism will be remembered for its cowardice and capitulation. https://www.theguardian.com/world/commentisfree/2026/mar/17/trump-is-aiming-for-dictatorship-thats-the-verdict-of-the-worlds-most-credible-democracy-watchdog

‘Trump is aiming for dictatorship’. That’s the verdict of the world’s most credible democracy watchdog

Sweden’s V-Dem Institute warns that the US is no longer a liberal democracy. And autocracy is creeping across Europe too, says writer Martin Gelin

“The US is no longer a democracy. One of the most credible global sources on the health of democratic nations now says this outright. The Varieties of Democracy Institute at Gothenburg University reaches the alarming conclusio … that the US is hurtling towards autocracy at a faster rate than Hungary and Turkey.” 1/

Actions speak louder than words.

I am unable to install EU Login app in my phone because I use LineageOS and not the Google Spy Android.

Thus, I cannot use the double factor authentication, mandatory from the 25-02-2026 on unless I tell Google.

A frontal attack to our #privacy.

Stupid, no?

🇫🇮 20 000 allekirjoitusta kasassa – nyt tarvitsemme sinut levittämään sanaa! 📢

Hyvää ystävänpäivää! 💙 Tänään paras lahja Suomelle on todellinen ystävän teko: allekirjoitus digitaalisen itsenäisyyden puolesta.

my preliminary proposal for generic mobile application platform.

this is just a start, actual developers and system designers can make a final plan.

this is countering closed mobile platforms like google play and apple app store. but also these are too much dependent on jurisdiction of the u.s..

if you are finnish citizen or you have voting rights in finland, i highly recommend following formal initiative.

https://www.kansalaisaloite.fi/fi/aloite/16691

it is forcing or favoring digital services from european union, mostly cloud services. basically banning u.s. based cloud services.

u.s. and its economy has become erratic and unreliable partner.

Digitaalinen itsenäisyys – Suomen seuraava kohtalonkysymys 🇫🇮

Suomi on riippuvainen yhdysvaltalaisista teknologiajäteistä. Riippuvuus ei lähitulevaisuudessa vähenny vaan syvenee. Kelan etuuksien käsittelyjärjestelmä tukeutuu jatkossa yhdysvaltalaisen Salesforcen pilveen. Oikeusministeriö suunnittelee vaalitietojärjestelmänsä siirtämistä Amazonin palveluihin. Verottaja luottaa Microsoftin ratkaisuihin.
