    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.

      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.

    “[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

      https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/guns-republican-primary-campaign-ads-midterms-1336903/

      Greene in an ad for her 2020 campaign cocked an assault rifle as she warned “antifa terrorists” to stay out of her district

      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.

      https://www.indy100.com/politics/eric-greitens-campaign-ad-gun

      “There’s no bagging limit, no tagging limit, and it doesn’t expire until we save our country.”

      https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/south-carolina-governor-henry-mcmaster-hunting-dogs-b2344416.html

      “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.

      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.

    if they’re worried about being tracked maybe they could do the easiest thing in the world which is not being complete shitheads?

      It sounds like a honeypot to me. But I would be happy to be proven wrong.

      Edit: and it’s gone?

        decentralized + federated = defederated

        Could it be any more clear? /s

      it’s probably rated based on how dark his bronzer is that day.
