[quote]Apple said in a statement it removed ICEBlock and other apps like it.
"We created the App Store to be a safe and trusted place to discover apps. Based on information we’ve received from law enforcement about the safety risks associated with ICEBlock, we have removed it and similar apps from the App Store," Apple said.
Joshua Aaron, ICEBlock's creator, said he was "incredibly disappointed by Apple's actions today."
"Capitulating to an authoritarian regime is never the right move," Aaron said. "Apple has claimed they received information from law enforcement that ICEBlock served to harm law enforcement officers. This is patently false."

Aaron said ICEBlock, which has more than 1.1 million users, functions like other mapping applications that use crowd sourcing for speed traps, citing Apple's own map service as an example.
"We are determined to fight this with everything we have," Aaron said. "Our mission has always been to protect our neighbors from the terror this administration continues to reign down on the people of this nation."

Meta/Facebook has joined Google and Apple and bowed to the government by taking down an ICE siting group.
Reason.com notes that this same sort of cowtowing to the feds happened under Biden.

Meta Folds to DOJ Pressure
quote:
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Biden administration pressured companies to censor content that questioned the pandemic's origins, something Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg says he regrets succumbing to. "I believe the government pressure was wrong, and I regret that we were not more outspoken about it," Zuckerberg wrote in an August 2024 statement. "I feel strongly that we should not compromise our content standards due to pressure from any administration in either direction—and we're ready to push back if something like this happens again."
In the wake of Tuesday's events, it seems clear that Zuckerberg isn't actually ready to push back against the federal government's pressure.

If there's one certainty, it's that regardless of which party is in power - social media companies will cave to them, no matter the demand.
