Are there any legal risks for signing up to this?

    Not really, at least as long as the constitution is worth the paper it's written on. But uh considering recent rulings, need to evaluate your own risk tolerance because who knows in future.

    Is it hosted outside of the US, in a jurisdiction which won’t honor a warrant to search servers?

    There’s very few places in the world that can’t be forced to comply. It’s a question of how important is the issue, and what political figure has decided they want to press the issue. America can threaten pretty much anyone in the world and they will almost always comply.

    From their site:

    Is this service illegal?

    No. Reporting, documenting, photographing, videotaping any law enforcement officer or law enforcement activity in plainly visible public spaces is protected under the First Amendment of the US Constitution. StopICE exists in the interest of free speech, transparency and public reporting. ACLU: You Have The Right to Record Law Enforcement Officers.

    I saw that but I’m just curious to hear other thoughts if there are any.

    From courts legitimately interpreting the law? Not at all.

    But that's not a guarantee anymore, and the administration also doesn't care what the courts say. He also just got gigafunding for his Gestapo.

    Does this website have an onion mirror?

    A dumb question.

    What is ICE?

    I've been wanting to sign up just in case there are some around me that need assistance with people blocking ice, but I don't want to give my number and have been thinking of getting a burner.

    Why aren't any raids being reported in Texas?

  • source

    Because Texas is firmly R. Trump has been deploying ICE in D states as a victory for his base. If Trump deployed ICE in rural R places, then his base would start to feel the effects of what no immigrant workforce looks like. And they'll get rightfully pissed (more than they already are).

    I'm not white and live in a red area, would love to sign up but also concerned it puts me on a list.

    Yeah, PSTN is wiretapped. Don't use this.

    Also do grassroots notification with locals. Not everyone has a phone, or a cellphone carrier.

    My experience, I have never received a single alert send to me. Seems broke. On my end. Always have to look at the website.

    send and receive mobile alerts via text message

    I hope this database of phone numbers, and all programs that connect to it, are secure.

    (Not that text messages are even secure, but a database is much easier to extract a complete list from.)

    For those on iPhone and at any risk, ICEBlock app is potentially better, as it maintains more privacy.

    The reason they don't do android:

    At ICEBlock, user privacy and security are paramount. Our application is designed to provide as much anonymity as possible without storing any user data or creating accounts. While we understand the desire for an Android version of ICEBlock, achieving this level of anonymity on Android is not feasible due to the inherent requirements of push notification services.

    Apple stores those unique IDs and absolutely will send them upon a legal warrant.

    This isn't run by the same entity. Its someone else. Don't know how they get the data but there's a link to source code.

    i don’t trust IceBlock. they don’t allow you to use the app at all without sharing your live location. it’s true iOS has better security and privacy, but whatever information any app collects from its users (like location data) will be sent to their own servers and cannot be confirmed by apple what they do with that data you willfully provided them
