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
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.
Is the app foss?
Shouldn’t be an app. It should be a site accessible using vpn and private browsing with an appropriate browser. Nobody should have to worry about the Stasi finding the app on their phone regardless of the situation.
Can’t it be both?
While this is true, most people are not so tech savvy, maybe giving an option to mask app Icon to user choice can help it hide better.
While I agree, in this particular case I think it’s a good idea.
Ice and snowflakes always seem to go so well with one another.
Sweet. I appreciate that their reaction has Streisand-effected this app into my awareness.
“[the app] basically paints a target on federal law enforcement officers’ backs”
When it comes to painting targets on backs, better them then innocent civilians.
Lol.
R’s have not only painted targets, they’ve made ads, and joked about killing civilians and anyone other than MAGAts

Masters, a venture capitalist and favorite of Trump-loving billionaire Peter Thiel, has featured guns prominently throughout his primary campaign. He responded to President Biden’s promise on Monday to crack down on “ghost guns,” which are homemade and untraceable, by tweeting a picture of a “ghost gun” he recently built himself. “Very legal & very cool,” he wrote.

“There’s no bagging limit, no tagging limit, and it doesn’t expire until we save our country.”
“I look forward to the day that Democrats are so rare, we have to hunt them with dogs,”
Edit: and for the record, Blake Masters is a piece of shit buddy of both elon and Vance and they are all tied together in their hate for democracy and love of Curtis Yarvin and the plot to destroy western civilization.

They could try not being brown shirts. Problem solved.
I love the quote about how it is putting federal agents in danger…and I sort of think that they are doing that themselves.
Good, those agents are playing a dangerous game and you should know if you play with fire your going get burned. Its a matter of time before they try to kidnap the wrong person, and that person decides its better to die in America then it is to go to a camp then deported.
which is great for necessitating the need to give absolute militant power to police forces. It’s like… the PR of him having a ‘meltdown’ is for a reason or something.
PR for who? Who is on the fence about ICE?
Probably lots of people in red states. Farmers for instance, people who generally buy the Republican bullshit, but may personally rely heavily on immigrant workers. ICE puts them in a really tough position.
Anyone have a link to the app/website? I’d like to follow some among honing my horn and warning folks.
if they’re worried about being tracked maybe they could do the easiest thing in the world which is not being complete shitheads?
This app sounds exceedingly useful to me.
It sounds like a honeypot to me. But I would be happy to be proven wrong.
Edit: and it’s gone?
Seems like the kind of thing a defederated system would be good for…
*federated
decentralized + federated = defederated
Could it be any more clear? /s
Is it apple only? Would love it on my droid if it’s available.
Looks like just Apple now: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/iceblock/id6741939020
How do they measure the difference between partial and full meltdowns?
it’s probably rated based on how dark his bronzer is that day.
Fuck Apple!
