These companies already pulled ICE tracking apps in the US. I don't have high hopes if the Trump admin demands it, they won't also pull LGBTQ apps from their app stores.

Abolish the app store
New: Apple banned an app that simply archived videos of ICE abuses. Rather than other apps that record ICE official's real-time location, Eyes Up is to "preserve evidence until it can be used in court." Videos from TikTok etc. Every submission manually reviewed

Did anyone else catch that the senate was about to pass a bill that would give anti-doxxing protections to every American and that was blocked so instead they passed a bill to give only themselves anti-doxxing protections???

Instead of working to protect Americans' privacy, today the FTC is hosting what amounts to an anti-trans rally. Nobody is more obsessed with controlling the private decisions of the American people than Republicans.
Hi all—I'll be periodically live-posting today's FTC event on GAC's supposed "deceptive trade practices."
Trump's anti-trans agenda is getting creative—cracking down on (or at least intimidating) GAC providers w/ misapplied consumer protection laws. The event will be...interesting.
