And that is called fascism.
As it says right there on the image. Why just repeat it with nothing added? It's on the same level of "first" comments, just takes up space and fishing for votes.
Not because of a lack of rules and guidelines?
The app is a PsyOP by ICE to deport more Immigrants, and this whole stunt might as well be a part of it
The GrapheneOS team already did a great disection of this iOS only app and why it is not anonyme at all (+ that they are fucking lying about Aosp and encouraging People to buy a phone known for spying on them
Therefore, its extremely easy to guess that at some point the US is going to Apple HQ with a court order to disclose everyone who downloaded the app, since, once again, iOSs App store discloses such things to Apple.

It was quite obvious from the start to any technical person, that iceblock was a terrible idea. Sadly hype generally doesnt follow the recommendations of well meaning IT people.
At least we have more content for c/leopardsatemyface
But on a more serious note, as long as people dont learn the basics such as „Youtube ad“ and „privacy“ in the same sentence are a honeypot and that you cant have privacy if your Root device itself is the threat youre trying to hide from, it is never going to change
On the other hand, if you set up a botnet to spam that service and get millions of people to sign up from everywhere, that data quickly becomes more useless. You can't use it to target dissidents if everyone is a dissident.
You understand they’re going to keep doing this until you stop them, right?
And you understand that there are a significant number of people working to do so, and that doing it correctly is not an overnight process?

As always there is a german word for this: „Sippenhaft“, collective punishment.
She was used as leverage against the extended family of a guilty person, making relatives liable with their freedom, property, or lives. ‘Sippenhaft’ usually meant imprisonment in a concentration camp. (Taken from Wikipedia)
Widely used by the Nazis - who could have known.
This showed a couple more verified results than the iceblock app recently, and it needs less data to provide notifications.
Nice! A website is a much better idea than an app. You can, theoretically, hide yourself on a website (though not by default, and almost no one will be anonymous if the site wants to collect data, including people with privacy plug-ins).
She should sue.
And then what? It's not like this government cares about lawsuits.
A judge will award her s nice payout.

Depending on which state she works in, she might have no rights. Many states have a right to fire an employee for any reason.
Hate being the grammar Nazi, but she didn't *lose her job for who she married".
She lost her job because of who she's married to.
She isn't a hero who saved her husband by losing her job. She's a criminal whose crime is being married to her husband.
At least that's what the wording implies quite strongly.
Most grammar nazis I know would go with "whom" for the object of a preposition.

Informally, leaving that preposition hanging at the end is fine, but for formal writing, you'd be locked away by the grammar cops:
"She lost her job because of the person to whom she is married."
I wonder how long until it's officially illegal to oppose the asswipe.
I would already consider it pretty risky to run the app without doing some pretty serious privacy protections.
I'd prefer not visiting the daily beast but, unless she was feeding info to her husband for the app, how does firing her even prevent the app?
It's a cruel, yet impotent, punishment.
It doesn't, it sends a message.
Show of hands for anyone surprised by this at this stage?
If they start a GoFundMe, I'll kick in.
