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

Stop buying their products. Unsubscribe from services.

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.

ICE Activity Tracker - Community Safety Alert System share.google/pEDuCDdZFEhAmxvLN

Edit - I’m sorry for the link, I was occupied. My intentions were good but the commenters below were gooder.

Because I was making gravy and I’m a hypocrite.

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.

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

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

I get the outrage, I really do, but the app broke many privacy rights and also the app did technically break ToS by definition being a “doxxing” app.

Regardless, there are websites out there that do it far better than the app, and have universal access Apple and Android devices.
