"Making a phone that avoids Big-Tech spying is one thing ... But manufacturing that phone in the USA is a feat that few thought possible. Not only have we proved it’s possible, it’s shipping." https://puri.sm/posts/manufacturing-the-librem-5-usa-phone-in-the-united-states-of-america/
Librem 5 USA is shipping! "The smart phone retains the software security and privacy features of the Librem 5 while adding a transparent, secure supply chain with manufacturing in the USA.” https://puri.sm/posts/purism-launches-a-privacy-first-made-in-usa-smartphone-librem-5-usa-as-an-alternative-to-big-tech-offerings/
