  It’s closed source, and the build and publishing pipeline isn’t transparent.

  For me that makes this no different than a potential ICE honey pot

    Haven’t followed it much (EU), can you elaborate who did what and what can be done potentially?

      Oh lord, where do I even start? It’s an entishit show. And not the usual political shit show. A really scary one that’s truly heartbreaking. I don’t even really feel safe talking about that it

      Secret police would probably have an interest in lists of people downloading an app tracking their movements no? Particularly if it was downloaded to a mobile tracking device they carry with themselves at most times.

      They could argue that attempting to track ICE is illegal, and all those using the app are to be arrested and tried for their crimes.

      Maybe they’re looking for pretense for more authoritarian action on digital services/internet. We already have a bill in process that opens the door for government censorship of the internet right? They could be priming the public to be ok with them stepping in to shut apps/sites down.
