“It’s shooting pure unadulterated propaganda into our veins,” says one worker.

On paper, it's an official government news app being pushed over MDM to phones that are definitionally government property. There's not really ground to stand on here.

The fact that it's pure propaganda rather than an actually useful source of executive branch news is more a problem of the "White House News feed" or whatever you want to call it. It's a big fucking important problem.

But this is effectively whining that the fleet car you borrowed from work phones it's GPS location home. Oh no, a phone your work bought and paid for runs apps your work auto installs to it? Then only use it for work shit bozo, it's not your personal device.

    lmao

    The app, which debuted in March, promises a mixture of “real-time updates, live events, and direct access to the Presidency,” according to the White House website. It is, apparently, the same version that is available to the public on the Apple and Google app stores. A button within the app allows users to “text President Trump,” which autofills a text bubble reading “Greatest President Ever.”
