    Why on God’s Green would anyone be so fucking dumb as to utilize ANY computer app/program built and operated for the current administration.

    Christ on a cracker… I read through to the last comment - nice touch that there’s a Huawei SDK in the mix. Oyyyy!

      It’s almost too on message, isn’t it? If I read it in a comic book, I’d say it was overly predictable. Weaponized ignorance.
