Patriot act requires them to do so. I am gonna guess they probably will unless they want to go to federal prison.

Jokes on them. Run Linux phone, Android apps become useless. The PinePhones have the modem as an isolated module from the rest of the phone, connected via USB, so the modem can't do anything too invasive.
