No we never did [endorse Simple Mobile Tools], partly because I figured this sort of thing would probably happen to them (especially after they released that phone hardware last year)
We’ve never endorsed any of them [apps by Simple Mobile Tools] because they aren’t particularly privacy friendly in any way whatsoever. They’re just some apps, that were open source. There are plenty of apps that are open source out there that we don’t recommend.
we very intentionally never recommended Simple Mobile Tools!
