The Trump administration’s newly launched White House App is under scrutiny after a software developer claimed to have found embedded code that tracks users’ precise GPS coordinates every 4.5 minutes and automatically syncs them to a third-party server. The claim, posted on 28 March 2026 by the X account @Thereallo1026, has drawn nearly 260,000 views and prompted questions about data collection practices in government-operated applications.
The post included what appeared to be decompiled source code from the app, revealing what the user described as OneSignal’s ‘full GPS pipeline compiled in.’ According to the post, the code showed the app ‘polling your location every 4.5 minutes, syncing your exact coordinates to a third-party server.’ The White House has not publicly responded to the specific technical claims.
This is the kind of behavior I’d expect from this administration.
The bar is so low and they still manage to limbo under it
My favorite formulation is:
The bar was so low it was practically a tripping hazard in Hell, yet here you are, limbo dancing with the devil.
Lol I remember watching that YouTube video about a north Korean phone that took screenshots every few minutes.

The key difference is, instead of your data winding up in an oppressive, kleptocratic surveillance state, it goes to the oppressive, kleptocratic adtech industry (dw, your data is also still sent to the oppressive, kleptocratic surveillance state,)
dw, your data is also still sent to the oppressive, kleptocratic surveillance state
But the good news is the government has to pay them our tax dollars to spy on us instead of getting it for free or using that money to benefit the populace. Yay dystopia!

Oh thank God. You had me worried for a second there that Daddy Freedom and Mommy Liberty didn’t care about me anymore.
Freedom as a tag line not as a promise.
Also Red Star OS
I thought of the one app India was trying to force all phones sold in the country to have. That one was also tracking locations.
Oh yeah! I forgot about that one. Crazy times ahead for everyone.
That channel was Mrwhosetheboss
Its all projection from the west 🤷♀️
To be fair the type of person that would install a white house app probably needs to be tracked anyway.
This is tracking the press who need it for their job
That’s probably why they did it. They know trump is most likely to be shot at by one of their own nuts.
Thank god that they banned foreigner made Routers to their whole country for security reasons though.
Banning routers today, Reuters tomorrow.
That means we have to invade a foreign country who makes routers, because we don’t make routers in America.
America First!

The funny thing is, THIS seems to be the part the media is rolling with, but if you read the full details about what it can do and how poorly it’s made, tracking your location is only one thing to worry about (though it’s a big one to be fair).
E.g The potential for running arbitrary malicious code if one random dude on the internet (who is unrelated to the US government) has his GitHub account compromised? Daaaaaaawg
It was already a no from me, dawg, you don’t have to convince me.
No, but seriously. Everything he tries to implement is like 90’S cartoon level evil and sloppy. I bet we could get him monologuing.
If you’re stupid enough to install that on your phone, you deserve whatever it is that you get. I’m surprised it doesn’t periodically send your browsing history to the fuhrer for inspection. Wouldn’t want those sheep getting the wrong thoughts.

That’s the ultimate objective, of course. That, and tracking every opinion you post on social media.
K, I think they all deserve high velocity therapy to fix their broken brains.
Sounds good to me. Size 9 works great for that kind of therapy.
A little Flying Lead Poisoning?
So their app description is lying?
Probably copy-pasted from some other app … which is also lying about data security.
Like how Truth Social is copy pasted from Mastodon.
Wtf is a White House app good for? Streamlining his mental diahrea into your hands?
Official propaganda delivered right to your push notifications:
Wow. That’s North Korea levels of propaganda.
One thing I don’t think has got enough attention is the fact that it does a fetch from Truth Social as well, which means Trump personally gets at least some indirect data on the app’s users on a server that isn’t even slightly controlled or contracted by the government.
Butter emails
If you’re so stupid that you install an app for Trump propaganda, you deserve to boot of the state on your neck.

Thank you!
Why would anyone download this?
Scary thing is that this is EXTREMELY common…
scary thing is most people have no idea. scroll cats 🤷
