Freedom Phone: 'Bitcoin millionaire' Erik Finman Announces New "Uncensorable" Android Phone The young self-proclaimed 'Bitcoin millionaire' on Wednesday, introduced the new phone based on modified Android operating system - FreedomOS, "a free-speech first operating system." The Android OS is a free and open-source software(FOSS) that any phone manufacture can modify(or fork) into a customized OS and use as its phone OS even without the Google Playstore. Google has some requirements for manufactures who wish to use its Playstore. Finman's main objective is to tackle big tech censorship. The Freedom Phone comes with its own app store, which will feature apps that are blocked or banned by Apple and Google. It comes with apps like Parler and Rumble pre-installed. Users will be able to download their favorite apps from the app store. The 6 inches, $499 phone comes with a tool called 'Trust,' which "will help you understand the security of your device and warn you about possible threats," according to a description on the company's website. Announcing the launch of the phone, Finman wrote in part: "This is the first major pushback on the Big Tech companies that attacked us - for just thinking different. Complete with it's own Uncensorable App Store & Privacy Features. https://www.keneci.com/feedbox#h.g08rgl3m1z8f
