Otherwise Linux could also be a honeypot, right?

- VoidWhisperer 1y agoI think they might be referring to ANOM which was an FBI honeypot for criminals seeking encrypted communication [0]. However, I'm not sure where they are drawing a parallel there beyond librem not being a 'mainstream' phone manufacturer.
