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.
Maybe they’re looking for pretense for more authoritarian action on digital services/internet. We already have a bill in process that opens the door for government censorship of the internet right? They could be priming the public to be ok with them stepping in to shut apps/sites down.
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
can’t even find “Joshua Aaron” on linked in or github. feels a little sus. my moneys on honey pot
Has to be shit is glowing
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?

the honey pot for what? people who don’t like ice? that makes no sense

no I honestly don’t know how this would help them
if they can track those who are against them, it’s easier to eliminate dissidents
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.
They already are
They’re using the cops’ favorite and extremely generic catch-all crime: “obstruction of justice”.
That expression LOL
Obstruction of whatever cops do, OK.
But usually it has nothing to do with justice.
