minus-square@rekabis@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglish24•25 days agoI love how the Streisand Effect works. They just made this app the hottest thing out there.
minus-square@douglasg14b@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish29•25 days agoIt’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
minus-square@queueBenSis@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglish8•25 days agocan’t even find “Joshua Aaron” on linked in or github. feels a little sus. my moneys on honey pot
minus-square@catty@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish4•edit-225 days agowhich is exactly what this whole ‘meltdown’ frame for the pr hints at. republicans know how to use publicity stunts to get what they want.
minus-square@nutsack@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglish-1•25 days agothe honey pot for what? people who don’t like ice? that makes no sense
minus-square@polyploy@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglish1•25 days agoSecret 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.
minus-square@nutsack@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglish-1•25 days agono I honestly don’t know how this would help them
minus-square@JandroDelSol@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish1•25 days agoif they can track those who are against them, it’s easier to eliminate dissidents
minus-square@CascadianGiraffe@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish1•25 days agoUsing 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.
minus-square@Rekorse@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglish0•25 days agoThey could argue that attempting to track ICE is illegal, and all those using the app are to be arrested and tried for their crimes.
minus-squareUlrichlinkfedilinkEnglish0•edit-225 days agoThey already are They’re using the cops’ favorite and extremely generic catch-all crime: “obstruction of justice”.
minus-square@Bloomcole@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish1•24 days agoThat expression LOL Obstruction of whatever cops do, OK. But usually it has nothing to do with justice.
