which is exactly what this whole ‘meltdown’ frame for the pr hints at.
Comment on Trump Team Has Full Meltdown Over CNN Story on ICE-Tracking App

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.
nutsack@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
no I honestly don’t know how this would help them
JandroDelSol@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
if they can track those who are against them, it’s easier to eliminate dissidents

Using the app becomes obstruction or terrorism. People who do that will also get sent to camps.
It seems far fetched but it’s really not. After all, nobody would step to stop either of those things from happening.

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.

That expression LOL
Obstruction of whatever cops do, OK.
But usually it has nothing to do with justice.

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.
