I’m going to be migrating this account to hackers.town soon. I was always more of a hacker than an Infosec guy anyway. Information wants to be free!

It's also possible that a judge could attempt to compel apple to disclose the list of accounts that have installed ICEBlock but I think that pressure to get iceblock delisted is more likely than that, I also think that its possible ICE agents will start specifically looking for iceblock on the devices of people they have detained and using that as a pretext for further punishment. Both of those are more concerning to me than a list of everyone who installed the app.
I have moved to @cooperq@masto.hackers.town if you were following me here go there instead.

@Zoarial94@infosec.exchange @MisuseCase@twit.social @zackwhittaker@mastodon.social I think it's more that the app is so deeply tied to apple cloud infrastructure (using cloud kit and cloud query) that its not possible to do a straight port unless the developer rewrites the entire thing to be cloud neutral, which is on his roadmap.

@sterophonick@wetdry.world I agree it desperately needs translation and an architecture change to work on android if the developer actually wants the most effected communities to use it.
On the issue of why there isn't an android app it seems like the main issue is the apps tight integration with icloud. If the developer can switch to a more agnostic solution an android app should be easy to write and could deliver notifications just as anonymously as the iphone app does.
@DarthAnrchy@kolektiva.social @eff@mastodon.social @404mediaco@mastodon.social I mean I think David Graeber explains this pretty well right, "surely one must pay their debts." In their minds I'm sure this is a perfectly morally acceptable thing to do.
