Nothing to see here, just Apple obeying in advance (again) by removing the ICEBlock app from the Apple store after pressure from Trump’s fascist government. I’ve always liked Apple products, but I don’t want to support a company that supports fascism. Maybe it’s time for an international boycott.
so the US government just forced a tech company to delete an app it doesn’t like, which is totally normal stuff

Apple has removed an app that allowed people to track and anonymously report the activities of ICE agents from its app store, due to “objectionable content,” the developer said.
It comes after criticism of the app from Trump administration officials.
