A grassroots network of apps, text threads and forums are sharing real-time ICE location data. The Trump administration says that’s illegal, Alex Woodward reports

The CNN article talks a bit more about privacy issues. This bit caught my eye:

It’s only available on iOS because Aaron says the app would have to collect information that could ultimately put users at risk to provide the same experience on Android.

I would like to see some details about this. Perhaps there’s a way to work around that problem, even if it meant publishing on F-Droid instead of Google Play.

      Chrome?

      It’s probably a security risk like Android, and the vast majority use it.

      Also, apps are better at sending notifications (like ICE warnings). IMO this is a pretty decent justification for an ‘iOS only’ app.
