Hackers have targeted a spread of apps or sites that aim to track ICE activity, in one case even sending push notifications to users in an attempt to intimidate them.

If a troll can send mass push notifications through your app you’re doing security wrong.
bearboiblakeMost of these apps were probably put together in a massive rush in response to people suddenly becoming aware of the threat that ICE poses. My guess would be that the most egregious security flaws are a result of vibe-coded (i.e. AI generated) code where it really shouldn’t be.

Maybe if I lick the boot hard enough, it won’t be on my own neck? Just maybe, just this one time?
And this is why I didn’t sign up due to security concerns. World of mouth or even blusky that doesn’t need your info beside email which can be a throwaway email would be best.
At a certain point, you’re fucked anyways - if the administration goes even further fascist eventually they’ll connect you to SOMETHING, even if it’s some asshole ex co-worker telling the Gestapo they once overheard you speaking critically about President Tucker Carlson. Opsec is important and should be taken seriously, but we need to always keep our security and safety in perspective, and always keep in mind that the security/safety we feel from the status quo is 99% illusory.
Give me the man and I will give you the case against him is a saying that was popularized in the Soviet Union and in Poland in the period of the People’s Republic of Poland, attributed to the Stalinist jurist Andrey Vyshinsky, or the Soviet secret police chief Lavrentiy Beria. It refers to the miscarriage of justice in the form of the abuse of power by the jurists, who could find any defendant guilty of “something”, if they so desired.
roofuskitDeicer shown in the app doesn’t require a signup or that you install an app. They seem to have just compromised the notifications to scare people.
Haven’t tried that one but stop ice did have a registration so I had to skip it. Either way it wouldn’t matter as people take their electronics to protest so likely already identified by this administration.

Wouldn’t be surprised if some of them are US state sponsored
I’d be surprised if any of them weren’t.

Free or not, they still require you to sign up to be emailed ads
