So I came across this phone from an Instagram ad so I checked it out and they send you a router that connects other phones to your WiFi, so others can too, it's an interesting idea but they'd have to sell hundreds of thousands of phones and routers for anyone to be able to use them, so I'm skeptical about how they'll do.

Sounds like a great way to steal your information, monitor any unencrypted traffic, and to hijack your traffic to redirect to fake sites to steal your login information. MITM attack anyone?

People actually click on ads on social media?
