    I love how the Streisand Effect works. They just made this app the hottest thing out there.

      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

        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 entire shit 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 it

        which is exactly what this whole ‘meltdown’ frame for the pr hints at. republicans know how to use publicity stunts to get what they want.

          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.

          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.
