install the "i saw waldo" app.

i dropped my tack on the map; i saw waldo about 100 feet to the north.

furyofantares•45m ago
I can't find any such app.
rolph•32m ago
then we will have to build it, i assume you get the gist already?
jMyles•41m ago
Being able to instantly know the locations of our friends and of threats to them (whether in the form of other people, natural disasters, fires, anything!) is such an obvious benefit to public safety in the information age.

It's one of the things that will finally allow us to supplant the yoke of the state, by having our own decentralized emergency response systems.

When will we realize this benefit? Do we really have to wait for Apple to fall?

recursive•32m ago
Apple falling will be insufficient, as another overlord will take over. Host your own is probably the only answer.
CodeCompost•39m ago
Well why do you need an app store for this? Can't you just ... I donnow ... create a webpage with OpenStreetMap integration?
poly2it•34m ago
I'm not saying it is the case, but considering other tactics employed by ICE, this sounds like something they could deploy as a honeypot to profile potential targets.
recursive•33m ago
Is that a difference from publishing an app on the app store?
tredre3•31m ago
They could and they could even make it a PWA so it would be on the home screen and able to send notifications.

But they only want to support native iOS for whatever reason (they've listed their reasons: https://www.iceblock.app/android, I just don't personally believe them to be technically accurate/truthful).

Hikikomori•22m ago
It is a webpage, they just had an app to view it.

This was the correct move from apple. Tools like this used to crowdsource location data of law enforcement can be used for malicious purposes.
Hikikomori•36m ago
"law enforcement" is charitable.
ajross•33m ago
As gets pointed out, that justification is post hoc; the argument wasn't made when the app was introduced, only after the ban. It's also leaning hard on "can be" and just letting the reader infer what "malicious" means. Clearly the intent is that protestors can show up to disrupt enforcement actions. Is that what you mean? If so, you should say so.

But it's also just plain overbroad: the same logic applies to Waze flagging of speed traps, which are also "crowd sourced law enforcement location data".

Basically this is bunk. The app got banned because the government doesn't want its enforcement actions disrupted by protestors, and whined[1] to Apple to coerce them into a ban.

[1] Plausibly threatened. It's not alleged here but they did it to Disney and Paramount already.

Are we allowed to post the location of roadside cops on google maps? What exception to the first amendment allows the government to abridge such speech?
penultimatename•20m ago
That same justification can be applied to block web browsers, any social media platform, and any navigation app that allows user alert inputs.

The entire thing reeks of the same Biden-era pressures on companies that had pandemic misinformation that Republicans were so vehemently opposed to. Somehow harming law enforcement is a better justification than harming random citizens.

Definitely a job for PWA.
