The developer of an iPhone app for sharing sightings of Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers has been publicly threatened by the US Attorney General.
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.
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.
Yeye i didnt assume that. Sadly finding matrix related projects is close to impossible in my experience, because the name is so absurdly generic. They really should have gone with something more search engine optimized when they decided to rebrand.
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…

Also my honeypot senses are tingling.
Everything about this app is mega sus yep. Should have open sourced it then this wouldnt have happened.

Do we know when this will potentially be ready?
Ooh there ya go. I knew there had to be some actually good approaches to this problem :)
