As much as it gets under my skin that people would rot their life away watching propaganda, at the end of the day it's their choice. Don't take peoples freedoms to consume content

It's unlikely because of how scrutinized the code will be once it's sold, but not impossible. It'll be caught eventually if it is backdoored, though.

Ehhhhh idk about that, reverse engineering efforts have found that it collects a lot more than other apps. Lots of seemingly unnecessary stuff.

Also, there's the whole thing with it burrowing in your internal files whether you delete it or not so it can continue collecting data after you uninstall, among with other suspicious (and strangely sophisticated) behaviors.

Also, it's bipartisan so I don't see where the "performative bullshit" is, it's genuinely a really well written virus that everyone willingly has installed on their phones, controlled by a country who's actively an openly a surveillance state. Not to mention the mental health implications; they don't even let their own citizens use it for more than an hour a day.
