On Reddit, the user revealed that the Trump Mobile ‘would track users through AI’.
In response, one person wrote: “Even the most diehard Trump supporters will not buy the phone because of this.”
Another said: “My feeling here is that if they want to stick their faces into the leopard cage, let them. Buy that phone, MAGAs, it’ll be fine.”
A third joked: “Valuable profiling information on all 13 users.”
And a fourth user added: “Donald released this entire fake mobile phone business thing just to figure out how to track where Melania spends most of her time.”
According to the Trump Mobile website, AI systems will be used to collect data given ‘directly or indirectly through your interactions with the Trump Mobile Services’.
The site goes on to detail how AI might also be used in order to make automated decisions, such as ‘content curation and recommendations’ and for fraud detection to ‘identify and flag unusual activity’.
What is Trump Mobile and the T1 Phone?
As reported by the Independent, the Trump Organization - which is now run by the president’s eldest sons, Donald Jr. and Eric - has announced an all-American-made Trump-branded ‘T1 Phone’, alongside its own bespoke network named ‘Trump Mobile’.
The gold-finished device has a similar visual design to that of the iPhone.
Donald Trump Jr. said: “Trump Mobile is going to change the game, we’re building on the movement to put America first, and we will deliver the highest levels of quality and service.”
The president’s son added that ‘our company is based right here in the United States because we know it's what our customers want and deserve’.
The T1 Phone will set customers back by $499, which is significantly lower than industry giants including Apple and Samsung.
The device is run on the Trump Mobile network and its ‘47 Plan’, where the monthly cost will be set at $47.45.
This is in reference to Trump’s stints as both the 45th and 47th president of the US.
