    It’s like the trump admin has never heard of the Streisand effect. Hopefully the developer lives outside of US jurisdiction and the service doesn’t get taken down for a while.

      The problem with phone apps is that they already have access to personally identifiable information.

      I would much prefer this was a mobile friendly website.

        It's not on Android because they couldn't do it without collecting some info. Seems like mobile-first web site would have been the obvious choice.

        Everyone who downloads this app will be shortlisted for the gulags. Big tech is working hand in hand with fascism.

      Stealing shamelessly from another comment, Stop Ice is a website version that should be a little more secure due to not being an app on your phone.

      Fascists are stupid, but lots of sociopathic opportunists aren’t.

        stopice.net? Yeah that looks like much safer alternative to iceblock

    What does it do?

      It would be quicker to either:

      1. Type that into your search engine of choice.
      2. Read the article’s second sentence.

        For me yes, but having the question answered in the comments acts as a multiplier for subsequent people who will come to this comment thread.

    Damn it’s only on IOS

      Yeah, the last paragraph of the article said so.

    Needs more clones of the app if they’re trying to kill it. Hopefully he opens it up.
