A mandatory White House app was pushed to federal employees' devices with no removal option, delivering what one worker called 'pure unadulterated propaganda.' Employees complained they couldn't delete it.
A White House app was pushed to federal employees' devices as mandatory software with no deletion option. Workers couldn't remove it even if they wanted to. One employee described it as "pure unadulterated propaganda." There's no public explanation for why the app needs to be unremovable or what data it collects.
Mandatory software that can't be deleted is a control mechanism. It's not the same as issuing a memo or even blocking websites. It's physically present on devices, always there, with employees unable to opt out. The fact that it's described as propaganda suggests it's not a standard work tool—it's messaging. Federal workers don't have the power to refuse. This sets a precedent for what a government employer can force onto personal or work devices.
