This certainly isn't the first example of a sketchy/deceptive product targeted at a conservative audience, and it won't be the last...

Grifters have found an easy target in leveraging outrage & persecution fetish, and for all their bluster - their privacy & security practices are typically laughable at best.

As an observation I would note that all marketing I have come across for this device has aimed at people concerned about privacy.

I am concerned when privacy and freedom have somehow turned into a right wing signal.

"freedom" has long been associated with the right in the US. Concern about large companies asserting their outsize influence being associated with the right is a new development, as is the right's focus on privacy and security.

Not too long. The left used to care about freedom until they owned the academia, the entertainment and most of the major press, and then they decided the freedom is no longer required. It happened not so long ago. Then the woke movement rose where expressing thoughts diverging from the dogma is equated to violence, and this of course doesn't need any freedom.
