Which previous devices? Can you provide some links?

Librem 5 has open schematics [0] and runs an FSF-endorsed distro [1]. What else do you need for the verification [2]? Otherwise Linux could also be a honeypot, right?

I think they might be referring to ANOM which was an FBI honeypot for criminals seeking encrypted communication [0]. However, I'm not sure where they are drawing a parallel there beyond librem not being a 'mainstream' phone manufacturer.
