Eyes Up's purpose is to "preserve evidence until it can be used in court." But it has been swept up in Apple's attack on ICE-spotting apps.

Very light on the details here. How did the app do this? What was the functionality of the actual app? From looking at the play store it seems to be basically a LE tracker as well, no matter how much they want to say it isn't. Getting cute and saying "no my app where you can tag where ICE agents are and upload photos of the ice agents isn't actually to track ICE agents, it's just a photo sharing app" doesn't actually work, no matter how much people on sites like this think it does.

Also lol at this:

Mark asked 404 Media to only use his first name to protect him from retaliation.

He released an app on the apple store, they know who he is.

Well, LE tracking apps should just be allowed, and we should boycott them for not doing so

Apple has consistently been a completely anti-consumer just basically evil corporation for 30+ years. Everyone knows it, there are just the people who care and who will never be smart enough to care.
