What's the difference between this and Waze?


There is an argument to be made that Waze helps white people avoid prosecution where as an anti-ICE app based on their current focus mostly does not. There is no point in pretending there isn't an explicitly racist goal in many of the administration's policy, even if it isn't the only thing that motivates them.


Even Google has a traffic police spotting function, but not a general police locator. It’s a gray area


Waze doesn't get in the way of fascists


Well... there's no "ICE" button in Waze. /s

There's not. But it attempts to thwart the administration's efforts into conducting raids.


I don’t understand. I thought it was an app where you could see where they’re selling ice and where you could go purchase it before it melts?


That's a very - wait for it - chilling ... effect on free speech then. /s
