Ah, spyware.
yep, there is ZERO chance i'm installing trumps digital herpes on my phone.
Trump has never been much for requiring consent, especially when spreading herpes.
Yup, they somehow managed to bundle obvious spyware and bold-faced propaganda into a single app, and somehow plenty of people seem okay with that.
I honestly have stopped caring about this particular kind of spyware. Too obvious to be a really important part of life's fabric. More interested in easter eggs that persist over decades and nobody sees them because their essence is architectural. And exists from conception of a system till its death.
