Y'all remember the Freedom 251 (The 4 dollar smart phone)
This is quite the opposite
Also this phone is leaked to be a similar Umidigi A9 pro
which is a budget phone

Whether the phone is a boom or a bust, it's going to be profitable regardless. My money is on something in-between.

freedom phone means nothing if it was made in china quite the Opposite and this rebranded play store (could) land the phone maker in legal trouble/hot water by google, i mean remember Souja boi/nintendo fiasco?

Conservatives, broadly, are a lot older and a lot less tech-savvy than their progressive counterparts, so they don't know any better. They're also a lot more willing to blindly trust whatever other conservatives tell them to believe. You don't have to look far to find conservatives giving money to just about any Tom, Dick, or Harry claiming to be trying to overturn the "stolen" election, and it wasn't long ago that conservative donors to the former president had their accounts bled dry because they were tricked into having their one-time donations auto-deducted instead.

I can just imagine boomer-tier conservatives getting this phone and still thinking it's safe/wise/allowed to organize on Facebook, or even that having this scam junk would automatically make it so.

Almost all tech targeted at non-technically inclined audiences is designed to take advantage of them and charge them for superfluous garbage, It's a great business model. See Apple.

There's that, yes. But I know worse : tech aimed at security is - and this is pretty ironic - often anything but secure.

The first time I had to troubleshoot something involving a security camera, it turned out that the camera had no security plan involved. It just dumped its info on a publicly available website. It had been a while since I've seen a'http' website (so without end - to - end security), but ey... The security camera had literally worse security itself than a website on dog food (to name a random example).
But this wasn't even the main problem. This was the time browsers actively started ditching flash because the safety issues simply didn't measure up to the potential gains. And sure enough : the site containing the raw video material used a format I couldn't get to play with any sort of video player but relied on a self built player using flash. This was before flash got completely banned so I got it to work, but I strongly adviced the store managers to get "something secure".

And don't get me started on G4S. I work in an airport, and those clowns are responsible for handling our cash throughput. Their ict infrastructure is a disaster. Ours isn't much better, I've got to admit, but that doesn't excuse them in any way.
