The Free Software Foundation have put the Librem 5 puri.sm/products/librem-5/ on their Ethical Tech Gift Giving guide for 2019 fsf.org/givingguide/v10/

We're giving it a tentative recommendation because the company has publicly committed to doing the right things for prioritizing user freedom and privacy, and because we have evaluated and endorsed the operating system it will run."
