which is great for necessitating the need to give absolute militant power to police forces. It's like... the PR of him having a 'meltdown' is for a reason or something.
PR for who? Who is on the fence about ICE?

“He’s giving a message to criminals where our federal officers are, and he cannot do that, and we are looking at it, we are looking at him, and he better watch out,” Bondi said. “Because that is not protected speech, that is threatening the lives of our law enforcement officers throughout this country, and shame on CNN!”
Why can't he do that, Pammy?
Gotta say Aaron is a bold motherfucker.
All of a sudden, so many things are "not protected speech". I find it tempting to be as ignorant as a Republican, but I'd certainly be caught off guard in that case.

Shouldn’t be an app. It should be a site accessible using vpn and private browsing with an appropriate browser. Nobody should have to worry about the Stasi finding the app on their phone regardless of the situation.

Obstruction of justice, aiding and abetting, to name a few.
Is your name ironic? Seriously? Like you seem to be the biggest bootlicker around. And before you whine about me defending someone who's helping Al Qaeda, Hamas, North Korea, the Martians and whoever else you think is pouring across the US borders to kill us all let me just say, yeah I don't give a fuck.
Edited to say "the US borders" rather than "our borders" because this fuckwit arguing for the fascist US government is literally not in the US. Fuck off "mate".

I would imagine this is very similar to marking a cop on Waze and completely legal which is why they are throwing a hissy fit.

I want you to explain to me how when Google does it (allowing anyone with an app to report a speed trap - you know where law enforcement is present) it's legal but when some random developer who's not a multi-million dollar Corp does it, it's illegal and obstruction.
I'll wait for your list of case law.

This app sounds exceedingly useful to me.
It sounds like a honeypot to me. But I would be happy to be proven wrong.
Edit: and it’s gone?

While this is true, most people are not so tech savvy, maybe giving an option to mask app Icon to user choice can help it hide better.

It's not about the store, it's about the notification.
As mentioned in the Time article:
the app is not available on Android because it "requires a device ID in order to send push notifications, which requires a user account and a password."
Its totally possible to send notification without having user account, see firebase.

Waze and Google maps don't let you report them for the purpose of helping illegal immigrants avoid law enforcement, or to tell people where to attack.

They're not advocating violence, just reporting a fact. (A hammer is a tool, but also a murder weapon) But you do understand the power asymmetry of an unaccountable police force, right? And just how dangerous this is to civil society? There have been multiple accounts of excessive and incorrect deportations by ICE, with no visible effort to attempt to correct those problems. People are now using the meager tools we have left to try to enforce accountability, before there is only one last tool in the toolbox.
They’re not advocating violence, just reporting a fact.
lol no one believes that, not even you.
But you do understand the power asymmetry of an unaccountable police force, right?
How are they "unaccountable", and how is that even relevant?

Nobody is crying about getting arrested. The fascists are arresting anyone they please without due process. The people risking their safety know the risks. ICE and the police are breaking the law by obscuring their faces and badge numbers, but you’re complaining about working class folks breaking laws written by the ruling class. Laws that they constantly ignore.
The fascists are arresting anyone they please without due process.
Anyone, or just those in the country illegally? Also law enforcement officers aren't "fascists" just because they're LEOs.

While I agree, in this particular case I think it's a good idea.

Bit of a meltdown you had there mate. Are you ok?

Is the app foss?

That’s not how push notifications on android work.
That doesn't have anything to do with how you install the app.

It has to do with receiving notifications from the app in a privacy-preserving way. Unless the app is running with a server connection 24/7 (RIP battery life) you need to rely on the OS to deliver notifications.

I'm happy they're scared.

You don't, there's privacy respecting ways of delivering notifications in android.
Also, a 24/7 connection to a server isn't nearly as bad as you might think.
The connection isn't active the whole time, it only uses any significant amount of battery if there's actually data being sent or received. You likely already have quite a few of them anyway, how do you think systems normally listen for push notifications?
Besides all that, I read in other comments that the privacy issue was the device id firebase needs. Obviously apple also needs some kind of device id, otherwise how do they know where the notifications are going?
Did some searching, yup apple also needs a unique identifier:
When it’s time to send a notification, you generate a request that contains the notification data and a unique identifier for the user’s device.
From https://developer.apple.com/documentation/usernotifications/setting-up-a-remote-notification-server
