Needs to be distributed. Single points of failure, be them people or tools, are always a mistake.
Exactly. Making a closed source, iOS-only app when you’re allegedly trying to help the largest number of at-risk people makes no sense…
The developer chose the correct platform for that then. It’s an apple only app.
His excuse? Android requires him to store databases of user IDs, but Apple does it themselves so it’s more “private”. There are tons of opensource push notification platforms available on Android that you can sideload. But seems like the developer wants the limelight than anything.
Also my honeypot senses are tingling.
Everything about this app is mega sus yep. Should have open sourced it then this wouldnt have happened.
The number one thing that makes this app potentially effective is reach. You don’t build a debase big enough to be worthwhile with a side loaded android app, certainly not in a short period of time.
Ooh there ya go. I knew there had to be some actually good approaches to this problem :)

Leave the US, now, if you can. Otherwise, find someone outside to publish your code I guess.
What a nightmare.
Nah, cowards run away. If one has the means to leave, one has the means to fight.
Spoken like someone with nothing to lose.
Democracy won the last war against fascism because people with the skills and talent needed to fight them left, both taking those skills away and using them against their origin. If they’d stayed in Germany they’d have either been forced to work for the nazis or been prevented from doing anything. People with skills and talent NEED to leave.
You mean money. It takes money to emigrate. I guess skillled and talented people without money can just die.
This is a despicable take.
Strawman much? I know better than to engage with such a disingenuous post, but I’m going to anyway.
It’s not about what people DESERVE. Nobody DESERVES to suffer or stay somewhere they don’t want to and I would love for everyone to be able to get where they want. But it’s about the greater good. Everybody who can get out should, but when people who are most useful or potentially damaging to US government leave, it has a big impact. Navalny stayed in Russia. Is anybody better off for it? There is nothing more useful to the US government than for people it needs to stay there. When they leave, it gets weaker, and the forces that want to resist its actions get stronger. Nobody is helped by his staying in the US and having his app shut down and then having him forced into working to support the people he’s trying to fight. Life isn’t a movie. Sometimes the best action to take isn’t the one that’s going to win an academy award, but wins the war.
