The app is a PsyOP by ICE to deport more Immigrants, and this whole stunt might as well be a part of it

The GrapheneOS team already did a great disection of this iOS only app and why it is not anonyme at all (+ that they are fucking lying about Aosp and encouraging People to buy a phone known for spying on them

Therefore, its extremely easy to guess that at some point the US is going to Apple HQ with a court order to disclose everyone who downloaded the app, since, once again, iOSs App store discloses such things to Apple.

    It was quite obvious from the start to any technical person, that iceblock was a terrible idea. Sadly hype generally doesnt follow the recommendations of well meaning IT people.

    At least we have more content for c/leopardsatemyface

    But on a more serious note, as long as people dont learn the basics such as „Youtube ad“ and „privacy“ in the same sentence are a honeypot and that you cant have privacy if your Root device itself is the threat youre trying to hide from, it is never going to change

    On the other hand, if you set up a botnet to spam that service and get millions of people to sign up from everywhere, that data quickly becomes more useless. You can't use it to target dissidents if everyone is a dissident.
