>our proprietary OS

You can't pitch a product to me that claims to be privacy oriented while bundling it with a service that expects me to route all my data through it, and then tell me that I'm not allowed to confirm or verify any of your claims myself.

This smells like a privacy-facade for marketing reasons rather than an actual commitment to privacy.

First it was interesting.

Then I suspected that it was probably going to funnel everything to Cloudflare.

And then I saw their hero quote is from James O'Keefe.

So I stopped looking.

took me some time to find where it's described, but "LibertOS" is yet another degoogled android: https://unplugged.com/blogs/news/the-unplugged-phone-inside-...

Doesn't say what it's based on (lineage or AOSP or something else)

This is not a phone for privacy-conscious people. This is a phone marketed to Republicans.

Another Patriot Phone?

Just look at their About Us page and leave knowing less than before.

Just another grift, in my opinion.
