I love the quote about how it is putting federal agents in danger...and I sort of think that they are doing that themselves.

Lol.

R's have not only painted targets, they've made ads, and joked about killing civilians and anyone other than MAGAts

Greene in an ad for her 2020 campaign cocked an assault rifle as she warned “antifa terrorists” to stay out of her district

Masters, a venture capitalist and favorite of Trump-loving billionaire Peter Thiel, has featured guns prominently throughout his primary campaign. He responded to President Biden’s promise on Monday to crack down on “ghost guns,” which are homemade and untraceable, by tweeting a picture of a “ghost gun” he recently built himself. “Very legal & very cool,” he wrote.

Edit: and for the record, Blake Masters is a piece of shit buddy of both elon and Vance and they are all tied together in their hate for democracy and love of Curtis Yarvin and the plot to destroy western civilization.

Looking at the reviews, ignoring the mega hats, it seems part of the app does not work from time to time

It sounds like a honeypot to me. But I would be happy to be proven wrong.

Edit: and it’s gone?

While this is true, most people are not so tech savvy, maybe giving an option to mask app Icon to user choice can help it hide better.

Can’t it be both?

they mentioned that its because push notifications require device id and that would make it easy to be tracked if aubpoenaed.

edit: for the record i don't agree; i'm just saying what they said on bsky

This is a really good comment

*federated

If you mean something on fediverse: while that would be hard to take down or block, it’s far from anonymous

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

No, and even worse, its only for apple devices lmao. These kids are so unserious in their activism it would be funny if it werent so sad. If shit hits the fan, this stuff will go down instantly and im sure it has no backup plan for a Tor based or p2p service. Activists in the US should start using Briar. This situation is exactly what it was made for and people have to get their tech game up fast or they will be done for. Get a shitty 80$ android phone if you only have an iphone. Install a panic trigger app that will wipe the phone if you are in trouble.

On ICEBlocks website it says:

Modeled after Waze but for ICE sightings, the app ensures user privacy by storing no personal data, making it impossible to trace reports back to individual users.

Which worries me, because if its closed source then thats a worthless promise and actually makes the app a perfect candidate for a honeypot or backdoor.

Looks like just Apple now: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/iceblock/id6741939020
