    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

      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.

      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

        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.

            Using the app becomes obstruction or terrorism. People who do that will also get sent to camps.

            It seems far fetched but it’s really not. After all, nobody would step to stop either of those things from happening.

        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.
