  I wish we could use a “regular” app like Waze and start reporting “icy weather” as code for ICE. I mean we can, but idk how to make it a thing. Kinda how they were using “winter boots” as code on TikTok for ICE to get around the censors.

  This sucks, and they shouldn’t have to do this, but could they make it a webapp?

    Did you mean “web site”? Because, according to Cory Doktorov an app is just a website wrapped into enough IP to make it a felony blocking ads in it.

  Oh no, our precise Apple is really a shit company. Tim Cook, just like every other Tech CEO, is a Liberal POS (or just straight republican).

  They don’t care about LGBQT+ or the enviornment. They care about money and how much tey can make from stupid people.

  Everything is objectionable.

  Are we ready to admit that giving 3 companies the ability to decide what everyone can and can’t execute on their devices is a massive international problem? This is probably the greatest threat to every country in the world, and the people of the US.

  I object to fuck-faced people who object to basic acts of decency, safety & freedom.

  Apps are just browsers that can only visit one website. Who cares about them?

    And websites are just little programs you can download at will, so who cares about them?

      A lot of websites have server side programs taht are never downloaded by the client. So there is a pretty big difference there. Basically if you want a subversive anti-government “app” you really want a website, not an app.

  I made a tool to help with this. It sends encrypted Signal alerts when ICE shows up in your area based on community reports. Honestly been struggling to get the word out because everyone thinks it’s spam, but it’s legit and people are using it. iceheadsup.com Please check it out or share with someone it could help.

  I get the outrage, I really do, but the app broke many privacy rights and also the app did technically break ToS by definition being a “doxxing” app.

  Regardless, there are websites out there that do it far better than the app, and have universal access Apple and Android devices, which makes sense, because the developer of ICEBlock made it exclusive to Apple, and hispanic communities are overwhelmingly Android users.
