Apple has taken down an app that uses crowdsourcing to allow Americans to warn others about ICE agent sightings in their communities.

    Report ice agents in Apple Maps. Flood their staffed resources.

    Stop buying their products. Unsubscribe from services.

      I’ve heard this quote is apocryphal. But in today’s world that seems less and less relevant.

    The app was never really fit for purpose; not that Apple should have pulled it…:

    Fuck the apps anyway, there’s a website that already does this just fine.

      Thanks for that read; didn’t realize there were that many “issues” with the app.

            Gravy-hypocrite sounds like one of those weird congressisems like chicken hawk.

        Pretty sure Android gives shortened Google links if you share from the search quick results as opposed to fully loading the browser to share the link.
