Ah, spyware.

What’s fucking asshole ad network is Newsweek using where their auto play video ads have audio enabled? Closed that tab damn quick

As usual: this can be interpteted as Malware. That said, many apps are like this these days: full of trackers and way too many permissions. Most people never know or care.

Mildly interesting: one of.the trackers seems to be related to Huawei.

EDIT: Someone decompiled and analyzed the app in detail: https://blog.thereallo.dev/blog/decompiling-the-white-house-app

"this meeting could have been an email" --> "this app could have been a website"

Some thoughts:

1. Its good to have an easily-acessible resource for official govt info
2. However, The White House already has publicly accessible RSS feeds. This does seem to go beyond that with videos and live streams though.
3. This will most certainly be used to spread and give credence to propaganda
4. Given the aptitude of this admin, I give it about a month before its hacked and used to spread false information.

LOL, this is what they've been teasing?

I genuinely look forward to seeing what the conspiracy folks have to say about this. They were already spun up about this being a final declaration of nuclear war. Such womp womp.

Can somebody say PROPOGANDA?!

The Telescreen !

How much you want to bet that it's 100% vibe coded, tracks your every move, and has full access to all sensors?

Hope I'm wrong.

Yikes

Can I get a full list of features on the Iran war after all these cryptic posts?

Aint no government app ever going on anything I own. I dont care what government it is either.

Vibe coded no doubt by smol bols

Ah, the next step of Gleichschaltung.

Look at all those fake app ratings and reviews on the Google Play Store. I wonder how much that cost.

I'm sure this will be asking for things like location data. If you have nothing to fear, you have nothing to hide. Make sure all your Trump friends sign up for this.
